The association of Pythonw.exe with the .py extension is wrong. Pythonw is a Python without a console, so it most probably does what it should do: execute a script and vanish. You should change the .py association back to python.exe . Pythonw is there for running COM server processes, applications which create their own windows, and so on. ciao - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) Applied Biometrics GmbH : Have a break!
