Can you elaborate on how you run the programs. It looks like 
an environmental issue so we need to know exactly what 
you are doing.

How do you run the bat file?
How do you run the programs "from the Python interpreter"

Are you using Windows Explorer or a CMD wondow? 
or the Start->Run dialog etc?

Which folders are you starting from in each case?

So how did you fix it before? 
I've never seen or heard of this before.
