Get AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode' when trying to load models

[nigelp]

I can only run the facebook model. I can download the others, but if I try and load it, I get the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode' message. Am I doing something wrong somewhere?

not trying to be rude but you gotta give us more to work on... can you try uploading

1. Complete log from prompt to prompt
2. Screenshot
3. System Info
4. Was this previously working and then broke or was it never working?

Thank you, you are so right, I realized after I posted.

1. I think the post from @donote above gives more info on the problem.
2. I am running on a Windows 10 PC, with 24GB RAM, Nvidia card with 6GB.
3. I have never got a different model working apart from the Facebook default one.

I hope that helps.
