inkscape stopped working
I draw with Inkscape yesterday. It worked perfectly. Today it does not work. Windows tells me 'Inkscape has stopped working'. I uninstalled Inkscape and re-installed it, did not help. What could be the problem?

Re: inkscape stopped working
I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, running inkscape 0.48. It was running well, and then stopped working.
I uninstalled and re-installed it. No way, BUT I've remembered that on uninstalling it, read something about different Python version.
Went to Python website and found that Python-3 was totally re-written, different from P-2.
Then I uninstalled Python-3, cleanwashed Python and Inkscape (incl. user preferences) folders, regedit, and then installed Python-2.7, restarted, and then Inkscape 0.48 again.
It worked! Running now!
