Worked for a little while and now it crashes every time I try to boot the IDLE or open a program, it crashes. Help please? Thanks I sure hope you meant "ActiveState"... "ActiveSync" is M$ system for synchronizing PDAs with desktop systems (Outlook address/task/appointments, mostly, along with specific files). Does PythonWin run (included with ActiveState Windows installers)? What messages do you get when you enter "python" in a command prompt? What do you get for ftype and assoc commands?
