Wait, so the exact same code runs fine when you compile it via command line, but crashes when you run it through the IDE?
I think a lot of people use win7 on this forum and everything works fine. Have you checked out the
windows compatibility thread?
Iunnoifyuuknow, but 'print "yo"' would not display anything on the screen, it would just create a window that closes. Some IDEs if you click on the side it will leave a little mark there (not representing an error), and others are just slow to update. Most of them you can go into the options and mess with code completion to get rid of IDEs filling in stuff for you (usually ends up in it being typed twice X_X). I would try to get Indigo working. At the very least you would be helping to debug it!
