I have been using the notebook a bit on my home pc with some success, so I am trying to get it running at the office.

64-bit windows 7 with 64 bit python installed
Everything works as expected, up to the dashboard page (which opens fine in Chrome)
When I choose a notebook, or choose new notebook, the notebook opens and I get the dead kernel message. When I restart I get another dead kernel, and so forth...all I get in the kernel screen is the following

The IPython Notebook is running at: http://127.0.0.1:8888
Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels.

For somebody like me who usually diagnoses their own stupidity from the error trace, the kernel model makes it difficult.
