title: IE and Chrome not working with Selenium2 Python
body: <p>I can't seem to open up Google Chrome or Internet Explorer through Selenium 2's Python library. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit.</p>
  
  <p>I have completed the following steps:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Installed python - 2.7.5</li>
  <li>Installed selenium 2.33 </li>
  <li>Included C:\Python27 &amp; C:\Python27\Scripts in the Environment Variable - Path</li>
  <li>Downloaded the 32 bit (I am running 64 bit but I could not find the 32 bit version) windows Chrome Driver that supports v27-30 (I am on 28) and placed it into C:\Python27\Scripts </li>
  <li>Downloaded the 64 bit IE driver that supports up to IE9 (I downgraded IE10 to IE9). I placed the driver into C:\Python27\Scripts</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Whenever I type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  driver = webdriver.Ie()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>OR</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  driver = webdriver.Chrome()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>into the Python shell, no browser pops up, the shell just freezes for a couple of minutes and then outputs an error message. </p>
  
  <p>IE Error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'Can not connect to the IEDriver'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Chrome Error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It works perfectly fine with firefox. The funny thing is, is that the process (IEDriver and ChromeDriver) starts per the TaskManager, but the window never shows up.</p>
