Always crashes when doing OCR step about python-tesseract HOT 6 CLOSED

set c:\python27\python.exe to be compatible to Windows 7 even though you are 
using windows 7. Otherwise the program might crash during runtime Details

running XP, not win 7, as noted in the original post

Could u help me by trying other combinations like "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" 

that's what i was using at the time (btw if you recall we exchanged a number of 
emails about this issue a few weeks back). i did not have the option for that 
compatibility mode since that's what i was running. i've since upgraded to win 
7 64 bit and have not tried python-tesseract yet

Recalled.... haha
