>From some Googling, it looks like this error can happen in Windows
when you have registry problems. This isn't a Python problem as far as
I can tell.

A few things for you to try:

* Try running your code on another machine with the same directory.

* Run cmd.exe and see if you can run "dir f:\\code\\python\pgmgallery/*.*"

* Try using other drives besides F: (C: is a good start)

* Try using other directories under F: drive in your program and see
when you start hitting the problem.
