Just fixed Re: [Chimera-users] WinXP SP1 python error on File -> Open

[Pattanayek, Sabuj]

Hi,

I just tried this and it fixed the problem:

Delete these directories:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\chimera
C:\Documents and Settings\sabuj\Application Data\chimera (whatever your username
may be)

Then uninstall and reinstall chimera and file->open works again.

Thanks,
...Sabuj
