command prompt: the ntvdm cpu has encountered an illegal instruction

[Daniel]

If I try to invoke python via the command prompt I get an error
"command prompt: the ntvdm cpu has encountered an illegal
instruction..."

I don't get this problem if I first cd to the python directory. I am
running python 3.0 on windows.

Running Python from the Cygwin shell? Try from outside Cygwin, then.

No I am running from the windows command prompt.
