Same problem here. ipython also yields an error.
""The procedure entry point InitializeCriticalSectionEx" could not be located 
in the dymamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

Thanks for solution! Both ipython 0.13.1 and 0.13.2 are non functional in this 
issue. Strange, but ipython qt keeps same error after replacement.

issues comes from a zmq dependency - libpgm. When compiled on Vista+ it uses 
API which does not exist on WinXP.

try https://pythonxy.googlecode.com/files/pyzmq-13.0.2-4_py27.exe instead. 
Don't install old IPython (which lacks the notebook feature).

This highlights a deeper problem - supporting WinXP is increasingly difficult. 
It both requires resources and prevents adding features.

Thanks for the advice - it solves both problems! But Windows XP is no longer 
officially supported. So can we expect integration of fixes in the release?

It does not seem to work on my machine. Win XP Pro, 32 bit.

Your ZMQ does not seem like something provided by Pxy. Please install the 
binary provided in the link above.

make sure no Ipython or spyder windows are open!

do anything more thant this.

same problem, grizzly.nyo's link helps, thanks. python(x,y) h5py don't works 
too, have reinstall from 
http://h5py.googlecode.com/files/h5py-2.1.3.win32-py2.7.msi and all is Ok

As noted in the blog - WindowsXP depends on the underlying packages 
compatibility.

current HDF5 Win32 requires Vista+ for thread support.

Please remember that WindowsXP will follow Windows 2000 into history at April 
2013. Better start preparing.

Had the same problem, and used both installations:
https://pythonxy.googlecode.com/files/pyzmq-13.0.2-4_py27.exe
and
http://h5py.googlecode.com/files/h5py-2.1.3.win32-py2.7.msi

Now, I get the following message:

C:\Python27\Scripts>spyder.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Scripts\spyder-script.py", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('spyder==2.2.0', 'console_scripts', 'spyder')()

    entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__'])
ImportError: No module named spyderlib.start_app

My specs are the same as stated above.
Any ideas?

Sorry I had another problem. a) I installed python(x,y) v.2.7.5.0, in windows 
7, 32bit; it was fine, simple scripts  in python works properly. b) I have fail 
inporting "glpk" module. I´ve downloaded GnuWin32, and add the path 
"c:/archivos de programa /GnuWin32/bin" to the pythonpath administrator and 
does`n work. c) The error message is: "import glpk  # Import the GLPK module 
ImportError: No module named glpk" d) In resume: syper don´t read (can´t 
find) de glpk module.
Thanks in advance.

1.Unzip zmq.zip and put all in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\zmq
2.Use easy_install pyzmq-2.1.11-py2.7-win32.egg, it's ok too.

If problem also exit, try uninstall ipython by easy_install, and reinstall 
ipython 1.1.0.

Enjoy!
If you use CJK Font(Japanese/Chinese/Korean, which are double-width character 
languages) in WinXp, maybe cmd "ls" in Console shows strange result.

Soultion: From "Console Help(chm in \pythonxy\console)-Language Setting"
run Console. Unhide windows console (View->Console window) and open its 
properties dialog. Go to "Font" tab. Raster Fonts will be selected in the fonts 
list, choose the other, save, ok.

如果是中文xp，直接在ipython里面输入ls命令，显示十分糟糕，
咋整？
解决方案：
可以在增强Console里面“右键-View->Console 
window”，然后是cmd模式(Console2 command 
window)，在标题处“右键-属性-字体-选择非点阵字体-确定-保��
�属性，供同样标题的窗口使用-确定"，这样中文字体就好看��
�。
