What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run namebench-1.2-Windows.exe
2. Wait until extraction
3. Error occurs

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see the following error:

I suggest changing the name of the issue to "1.2 windows: init takes at least 4
arguments (3 given)" or something like that.

The culprit line is:

data_source = OptionMenu(inner_frame, self.data_source, *source_titles)

Honestly, I'm not sure how this could cause an error for some peoples machines. 
I looked at the Python 2.6 
docs, and it seems that things have changed, and there is an additional option 
now:

__init__(self, master, variable, value, *values, **kwargs)

value being the initial value. For some reason, this initial value does not 
appear to actually do anything. I 
wonder if this is more due to only finding one source of history to use. 
Unusual.

This doesn't seem limited to Windows as I see the same problem on a Debian 
testing
machine:

days old)

After some more debugging, I've discovered that this is the same as issue 122 - 
but the side effect is different on 
the Tk version of the UI. In a nutshell, namebench isn't able to find any 
browser history files, and is unable to 
fallback to the Alexa dataset due to issue 116.

A fix for this is forthcoming. It's still surprising to me that it is unable to 
find a browser history for Windows 
users. If you are running namebench from a machine where you are also using a 
web browser, if you could 
provide a  namebench .log file (or console output), it would be greatly 
appreciated.

Can you try the newly released namebench 1.3-BETA1 to see if it resolves this 
bug?

I tried the new namebench 3.1 beta 1, and despite taking some time for starting 
(the
main window takes like 1 minute to appear), it opens correctly.
