Psychopy just stopped working and then would not boot up. Im running Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 10. It happened after I installed PyCharm, Also I was looking to see the iohub demo.

Reinstalling wouldn’t help, I’m afraid. Could you try these tips please? [image] Why would psychopy not be activated on the screen? Other If my suspicions are correct, this is a windows problem and not a psychopy problem. This used to happen on a windows machine I used wi…

You messed up the quotation marks. You missed one at the very beginning and another one at the very end of that command line…

Also, the PsychoPy-VERSION-py2.6 part looks weird to me, but I don’t have a standalone install here to verify. What are you even trying to do here on the command line? Edit Ah okay, I should read better. Okay. So if you try to start PsychoPy, do you get an icon in the task bar?

Don’t worry. Is that I did it in a hurry and did not notice the details.

So, is it working now? :slight_smile:

Here are a few errors that I got when oppening up the modules. I am not sure what I am doing. I am just trying to follow what it says on the troubleshooting page. [image]

Okay, let’s back up here :wink: What exactly happens if you try to start PsychoPy by clicking on the program icon?

The Tip of the Day opens up and when I hover the mouse over the icon I can see as if the program started but when I click it nothing appears.

What about the tip of the day dialog box, is it responsive, at all?

Yes. It responds like it has done the past few days. The other time this happened I was also looking at the demos.

Okay, and once you close the tip of the day dialog – what happens? There’s not PsychoPy window visible? Do you see a PsychoPy icon in the task bar?
