[SciPy-user] New to scipy and having problems getting started

[Gerard Vermeulen]

I have exactly the same problem with all recent *.exe installers on
Python-2.2.1+Numeric-21.0.

The last working installer for my config is
SciPy-0.2.0_alpha_139.4209.win32-py2.2\[1\].exe (found in a hidden
Internet Explorer folder).

Uninstalling the newer version and reinstalling the older works for me.
