Hi! Unfortunately, when I try running psychPy, the program will not open even though it has been working for weeks prior. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, and when I try and run it, all I get is a loading wheel that fails. I am using Windows 10 on an HP laptop.
After running the following code through the command line, I got the following error message:
C:\Users\maddi>“C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\python.exe” -m psychopy.app.psychopyApp
Traceback (most recent call last):
