    There can be lot of reasons and its difficult to diagnosis and recommend a solution without looking into the actual system and process. If you are really interested to resolve this I can suggest how you can debug these issues.

    1. Download Process Monitor
    2. Bring up process Monitor and filter all process except pythonw. PythonW is the process that runs when you start IDLE.
    3. Now Start Monitoring in Process Monitor.
    4. Bring up IDLE and wait until Process Monitor’s Log becomes stable.
    5. Now study the LOG to see what might have gone wrong.
    6. If you need more help, just post the log here and we can try to see what is wrong with your system.

    Just to simulate your problem, I renamed my idle.pyw so idle_1.pyw and tried to bring up IDLE. It failed without any message. I then brought up process Monitor, and filtered the pythonw process and tried to bring up IDLE again. I found a message in the log which was in coherence with the problem.

    As you can see, I have highlighted the error which shows what the error yes. Try the process explorer and this would surely nail down the problem if nothing works for you 🙂
    Remember, just search for ThreadExit in the log, the Error should be just above the Operation. In case its difficult for your to figure out the problem, just post the screan shot near the ThreadExit, and we can help you out.

    As you can see in the log, the FSECURE.DLL closed the thread abruptly. FSECURE (Antivirus/Firewall) didn’t think this process to have legitimate rights to do some operation. If you need to know more details as to what operation was blocked you would get from Fsecure Log. In most cases as you have experienced, running as an Administrator would help the process gain the right to not being blocked by Fsecure.

    I have no expericne with Fsecure, but most antivirus have a Whitelist entry where if you add a process would prevent it from blocking it.
