Vista...all scripts fail - RM68JSU - 2013-03-21

I wanted to see if anyone wiser and more experienced that I could offer any insight as to why all of my scripts seem to fail. I have included an example using the YouTube plugin from the XBMC repository - please let me know what I can do to get this up and running. Thanks in advance!

More info...this is a new install on a relative's computer - not a sudden occurrence with an existing installation.

Ah, the bad old Vista bug about missing modules still haunts us! See these previous threads:

I think the workaround for many was to upgrade to Windows 7.
