    Specified module not found

    I am trying to use utorrent but when i try to open a torrent i get the error: the specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary (pythondll) failed.

    Is there anything i can do to correct this?
    Thanks in advance

          I didn't see that. It is just a small window titled "error" and it has that message and the "ok" button.

          Thanks again

            OK. That sounds like the module you are running ends with the .pyw extention. If you change the extension to .py, you'll get a window in the background that should catch the full text of the error. This is a very common troubleshooting technique and the .py file may already be in the bt directory.

                Do you actually have python installed on your system?

                  You got me... I don't think i had it installed before this happened, but when i looked around for a solution i installed version 2.5 which did not change anything.

                    I'm guessing that utorrent was implemented in verion 2.4. I'd try installing that. Beyond that, there may be some issue wrt environment variables which expose the python installation to your utorrent install. Sorry that I can't me of more help.

                      No, thank you very much. I think that will help.
