I tried to install anaconda 2.7 on my new computer(running win10), but failed. I had it installed on my old laptop (running win7), and I was using spyder happily. Now after the install, the Navigator refuses to open, and the anaconda prompt gives an error first hand when opening.
The error i am receiving:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried reinstalling anaconda completely, tried both 64 and 32 bit versions, tried miniconda, same error all the time. Would really appreciate any help!
