[wxPython] DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not functioning

Hi Geoff,

I take it you saw my question and the solution? If not, I briefly
reiterate: Like you, the first DLL failure I got was something else.
(I forget what.) I grabbed the Winsock DLL and the error message
changed to the same one you are getting now. In my case, the problem
was solved by finding the newest MSVCRT.DLL and dropping it in
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. (I actually had a fairly recent one, but it was in the
wrong place. The one in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM was considerably older.)

Dunno if it will work for you.

All right. On my Win95 box, I installed the missing DLL's, but I'm
still getting the following error when I try to run the demo:

ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not
functioning.

This was *not* the error I got before, so we're one step closer. All
the DLLs have been installed and I have downloaded and installed the
interim build.

Everything works smashingly on my Win98 Box, but this system is old and
I don't think it could handle 98 too well.

So, anyone have any thoughts?

Geoff

Funny, though. The Tree Control is all white except the lines and
+/-'s. Those have a gray background. Something else funky going on.
Anyone else have *this* problem? I haven't changed any system colors.

That means you need a newer version of the common controls. See
