Preferences menu issue (2020v.2.10, Windows10)

Hello,

I recently upgraded PsychoPy on my Windows 10 machine using the standalone file. I did uninstall an older version first. However, when I click on File > Preferences, I get the error below and cannot even change the order of my sound libraries.

I also get related errors when I try to run any task with sound (it goes to the first screen of the task, then kicks me out and gives me four backend_pyo.py errors, 3 of them the same as below).

Am I missing a sound library (pyo looks installed…), or another important section of code?

I will also copy what is in the “Help> System Info” menu below the error codes.

Thank you for any help.

Val

Is there a way to manually download just the pyo library and replace my files? I’m thinking maybe that would fix the problem, but I’m stuck right now because I can’t run any experiments with sound (unless they are uploaded to Pavlovia by someone not having this issue).
