Is your previous install of python still referenced in your $PATH by chance?

thanks for the reply, but have pity on an illiterate who just wants to use the program for graphical work. No idea what $path means
Don't sweat it... :) If you're on XP this is what you do to check...
1) Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties". 2) When System Properties dialog comes up, click on the "Advanced" tab. 3) Click on the "Environment Variables" button toward the bottom of the dialog. 4) In the System Variables section (bottom half of dialog), there is an entry for "Path". Select that and press the "Edit" button.
If you see anything referencing python in that line, remove it. It would look something like "C:\Python24;". Hit OK, close the opened windows, and it will require a restart.
Let us know if you saw it there and if it fixes the problem for you.
