I cannot open the preferences of Psychopy anymore. If I try to open preferences, I get this error:
I have tried to reinstall Psychopy. No sucess.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello, Michael.

I am sorry for the extremely delayed response, but it is the end of the semester…

That cleaning preferences did not work form me. I did erase the appData.cfg file, but the same error occurred.

I am also trying to create my own modules to be imported in Psychopy, and I can say that I was able to edit the userPrefs.cfg file (to create a path). But deleting the appData.cfg file was not enough to put an end to the problem.

Thanks a lot for the help.
Best regards.

Any more thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance!
