I’m very new to coding so please explain in layman’s terms what to do about this error. Thank you!!

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Users\Maggie\Desktop\Manatees\Tensorflow Object Detection\tfod\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\pywrap_tensorflow.py”, line 64, in
from tensorflow.python._pywrap_tensorflow_internal import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

TensorFlow release binaries are prebuilt with AVX instruction sets. Therefore on any CPU that does not have these instruction sets, either CPU or GPU version of TF will fail to load. For other possible reasons you can check here.
