Hi Kai,

Try running one of the utility programs in the openslide/bin directory.  If
it works, the problem is related to the Python bindings.  Otherwise, the
problem is in OpenSlide or its dependencies.  For example, does
"openslide-show-properties <path-to-slide-file>" produce any output?

What version of Windows are you running?
