As a non programmer, I probably shouldn't even respond to this. But, I am running it and getting the hud and stats, on Vista with the 64bit dual processor. Have patience and faith, it does work, and well.... well, it works but am anxious to see further development.
I am running Python 2.6 and MySql 5.1 (which is not the latest as I have recently seen newer versions) but "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" is my motto. And I am running FPDB version 11.1
I did one thing that seemed to help. I set up the directory and all the files in Python to "run as administrator" just to make sure, as well as Mysql. I did the "properties" opening and any file in those two directories that would allow me to change the "run as administrator", then I clicked that box. Also, it wanted to put Python, by default, in c:\Program Files\Python26 directory. But after having problems, I read some docs on that site and it suggested the root c:\Pyton26 instead.
Between all the changes to "run as admin" and moving/installing Python26 to the root c: directory, one or many of them seemed to do the trick. I also had some password problems with Mysql and with help from Sorrow, got that fixed. Can't remember what we did though... my mind is too old to remember beyond a couple of days ago
Keep at it. I love how mine works. I gave up three times, but then it worked and while not yet polished, I feel I'm at least part of the pack.
