Ok, so my similar issue (673) was merged into this one.  In the issue I had 
raised I noted that when I try to launch Spyder from the command line, instead 
of from the Python x,y GUI, I received the following output and no launch of 
Spyder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Michael.MICHAEL-9391EE4>spyder

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Error 127] The specified procedure could not be found

*** I've since been running Spyder from the WinPython distribution with out 
problems.  I think the observed issue is just a problem with the latest Python 
x,y installer.

Same problem here, with Python(x,y) 2.7.5.0 on Windows XP.

Try using spyder.bat, it should work fine. Or start spyder from the Python(x,y) 
launcher.

I had similar problem launching Spyder. It wouldn't launch no matter how long I 
waited or which suggested alternative I tried. It finally works by removing all 
the subfolders inside .spyder2 folder, which were probably remnants of earlier 
PythonXY installs.
