I am guessing you have an incompatible tcl/tk install somewhere in your path. Likely MinGW or Cygwin. This is referred to as "DLL Hell" [1]. If you're not sure where these tcl/tk dlls are located, then search your discs. Often I find a command prompt faster. REM change to each drive manually, c: d: e: etc. cd /d c:dir /s/o/a/p tcl84.dll tk84.dll You should see it in cygwin or mingw or something, remove that from your PATH environment variable. If you want to run plugins written with Tcl/Tk then get it from ActiveState.
