When I use the "Polygon Centroid" tool -- to fix labeling features on a shapefile...i get this "Python Error" with a bunch of coding I do not understand in a text box. Afterward QGIS 1.7 shuts down on its own.

What is this error? I never had this happen to me while using this feature. If someone could help that would be awesome.

We need that stuff you don't understand otherwise there is no information to go on. – underdark♦ Jun 27 '12 at 18:56
I was posting it but the website would not let me post it because it was not compatible or something of the sort, however. I do have a screen shot of it and if you provide me with an email address I will gladly send it right over. – Azim Mohammad Jun 28 '12 at 4:15

attached images. Just to give you an update, my files were corrupted and I had them fixed by a friend. But still I cannot join .dbf files with the map for some reason. I just tried the data it works better but I am still having problems joining a .dbf file. The data joins with the shapefile but when I choose symbolization the only choice I have under the column is the shape file columns not the .dbf columns...I have tried different modes too. But nothing seems to happen. This problem if very odd...I did the same steps last week and I was fine. imgur.com/kiAgO imgur.com/GbVKG – Azim Mohammad Jun 28 '12 at 14:19
