They wanted $75 to repair it, but I told them a friend who will use the PC will have to decide that. This PC belonged to my wife at one time for 5 years. She had put Linux on it, but she no longer needed it. I restored it to XP Home. When I told her where the problems were she found a driver DVD, so I'm using it now to fill in the gaps. Maybe it'll get by the dll problem. It certainly is adding a VGA driver, so I think the window wobbles may get fixed. Well, it now works w/o any difficulty. It was the incomplete install that did it. It now has acrobat, wallpaper, etc, like most XP systems. No more wobbles! Yea! Thanks to all that helped. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Arguments are /u,/s/i/n.
According to the pop-up I get (Win7) when supplying an invalid
argument,
/n - do not call DllRegisterServer; this option must be used with /i
and that reads
/i - Call DllInstall passing it an optional [cmdline]; when used
with /u calls dll uninstall
So.. If the register server entry point was not found, maybe you
should try with /i/n to make it call the /other/ registration entry
point.
Well, it's worth a try. However, what other entry point.
{And, in line with the other commentators; I don't even use start/run
for the command shell -- I use the shell often enough to have put a
dedicated shortcut on the start menu itself (and have since added
PowerShell shortcuts). Only thing I use start/run with is the registry
editor (regedt32 or regedit) and to start the despised Internet Explorer
(iexplore, which has otherwise been removed from direct mouse access) --
in short; only programs with GUI interfaces get started from start/run}
To keep it simple, I now just enter cmd, and work there. I'm not
usually working with these low level operations. Occasionally, I use
some of the network commands.

Re: Which libraries for Python 2.5.2
I realized that I had a working copy of the app on another XP PC, so I looked at what I had installed for Python. It was not what I had posted the first time. There must have been some shift after the July 16, 2008 date. One lib that was missing was scipy. I just collected the three libs I saw there. numpy matplotlib scipy Scipy uses as its installer. scipy-0.6.0.win32-py2.5.exe I replaced numpy and matplotlib, and added scipy. I still get errors, but perhaps because the install order is now wrong. It was numpy matplotlib Does anyone know the right order?

Just start Dependency Walker, open up the _path.pyd file, and it will show you the full dependency tree. Below that is a list of all the modules, and any missing dependencies should helpfully show up right at the top of the list.

I still get errors, but perhaps because the install order is now wrong. It was numpy matplotlib Does anyone know the right order? The order (numpy, scipy, matplotlib) reflects the dependencies, but since the installers are just fancied-up self-extracting zips, I don't think it should matter. OK, I installed it. Is there an easy way to go to track down this dll. There's a Help, but I can't print it from the PC I have it on. It should be reasonably self-explanatory, I think. Just start Dependency Walker, open up the _path.pyd file, and it will show you the full dependency tree. Below that is a list of all the modules, and any missing dependencies should helpfully show up right at the top of the list.

When I saw File-Open, I thought I was going to have to open a file, thinking what file could it be? Well, it found several problems. These DLLs MSVCP1 EFSADU MSJAVA. There may be 100 file. Issues found: required dependency not found delay-dependency not found one nodule unresolved ... missing delay-dependency module Perhaps the next step is to download a fresh version of matplotlib? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If that is missing then that is probably the culprit. That DLL is the C runtime library. It is supposed to be shipped with applications that need it, but it is so ubiquitous that it is often assumed to be present or forgotten. You can download it from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp71 (or just find it on another Windows XP PC) and copy it into C:\Windows\System32. Don't forget to run regsvr32 to register it. HTH, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You run it from the same command window (aka DOS box, or cmd window) you've been doing all your other testing from. And like all good commands, it has built-in help so you can see what the argument list looks like. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
