I actually found the answer and the graphs are running great on my computer. If you are getting a DLL error like this, try downloading msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in your computer and then copy paste these two in your System32 folder: C:\Windows\System32 and also copy-paste these two dll's in SysWOW64 folder if you are working on 64bit operating System C:\Windows\SysWOW64 Now try running your code file in Python and it will load the graph in couple of seconds. Here is the link which says how to copy-paste dll's to both folder, this might help [this video] Cheers...
