My guess is that you are using Python 2.7 64 bit version with the 
psutil Windows installer available in the the download section which 
is compiled for 32 bit versions of Python.

psutil currently doesn't work on Windows 64 bit (see issue 107 ) so 
the only thing you can do for now is installing a 32 bit version of Python.
