Carlos, Thanks for the reply. If you could redirect all advice regarding this issue to this group, I'd appreciate it. Google groups is more convenient for me to use than GitHub.
This morning, I reinstalled spyder (conda install spyder) after I uninstalled it last night. "spyder" did not work. "spyder --new-instance" did not work Deleting the .spyder2 directory, followed by "spyder --new-instance" did not work. In all cases, Windows reported "python.exe has stopped working". Windows reported: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: python.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 54935c78 Fault Module Name: python27.dll Fault Module Version: 2.7.9150.1013 Fault Module Timestamp: 54935c77 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0008fc79 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.4 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 If I'm not mistaken, the additional info lines contain call outs to my registry, though a search via REGEDIT turned up no matches.. My username is 5 letters that are all ascii. On Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at 8:09:42 PM UTC-7, Carlos Córdoba wrote: > > Hi, > > Please follow the advice I gave you on Github.
