hi guys,

I was trying to install numpy & matplotlib for python, after that my PSSE (v 33.4) has started crashing within seconds as soon as I try to start it by double clicking on its icon. I'm in big trouble. Can anybody help?

Hello there,

Did you by any chance update your Python to e.g. 2.7.11? This update caused my PSS/E to launch for a second, and then to immediately crash. Luckily I got a solution from PTI, but it requires some registry tinkering. Make an empty text file, and save it with .reg ending (e.g. fix.reg) with the following text inside of it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7-32]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\2.7-32\PythonPath]
@="C:\\Python27\\Lib;C:\\Python27\\DLLs;C:\\Python27\\Lib\\lib-tk"

Running the file you just made (as admin) should fix your problem.

Can you elaborate the problem a bit more? Can you run PSS/E from Python instead?
