I need help opening the python gui (IDLE). On XP I had no issues. On Vista nothing occurs when I try to open IDLE. If there is a solution to this, please let me know in a user friendly manner (Im new to this!) Thanks.

I assume you are talking about Python 2.5.1 on Windows Vista? Yes, there is a solution. You have to unhide the folder .idlerc in your USERPROFILE directory and remove its content.

I made a search for the hidden folder 'idlerc' and got back no results : (

Make explorer show all hidden files, then don't search for it, but directly navigate to .idlerc; note the leading dot.

Please switch to the recently released 2.5.2 and let us know if the problem is still there.

Please open a Command Prompt, and run the script: c:\Python25\Lib\idlelib\idle.py Do you see any error message there?

Ok I figured out what happened once I got the error message on the command prompt. Since I installed Python on another account, I could not run it on the current account Im using now. To solve this I had to disable the UAC option. P.S. vista sucks. Oh and you can close this bug.
