Well, it's worth a try. However, what "other" entry point.

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.

	Dynamic Link Libraries consist of a list of function entry points.
regsvr32, by default (based on the above messages), looks for an entry
point called DllRegisterServer. Your error message seems to imply that
the particular DLL does not have that entry point. The /n/i option pair
tells regsvr32 to NOT look for DllRegisterServer, but instead look for
DllInstall as the entry point.

	Some might not consider these "low level operations" due to the
inherent power available from the command shell -- rather than the
limited power of the Windows GUI interface. PowerShell even goes to the
level of letting you script access to two of the registry hives without
touching regedt32/regedit and its GUI.

	Oh, and I'd like to thank the thread participants for even reminding
me about iexplore. I managed to get a valid login session to my credit
union this morning (Firefox managed on the 4th of the month, but since
then I've been getting an error message telling me I need to login first
to access a page -- coming from the response to the login page! Haven't
tried today so don't know if it was a server problem or something in
Firefox)

I'm installing Python on an XP PC that's 5 years old. This PC I'm 
writing from is Win7.

As far as I know, it's always been like that.

Well, I thought I'd take the PC to a computer shop to see why when I 
move windows they shake a bit.  The technician took about 2 minutes to 
show me uninstalled devices under System Devices. He thought they should 
be fixed. The system was showing lots of device errors. 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.

On any Windows computer that I use, that's strictly true. The only
program I ever Start|Run is cmd.

Do you not have the file
C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\_path.pyd?  It's in the
installer archive, so you should be able to just open it up with a zip
program and extract it manually.  If that's missing, then there may be
other things wrong with your installation, though, so I would
recommend a full reinstall.

The path exits. _path.pyd exists.

You are missing one or more DLLs that is required to load the _path.pyd
module. You can use http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to track down
missing DLLs.

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.
