Hey all,
I recently downloaded the XSIZETools for Softimage 7.5, but it is not showing up. I followed the installation instructions for XSIZETools exactly but the tab for it in Softimage is not there? Any solutions or ideas?

Did you install Python 2.7 and Cygwin32?

When you input `python` into the Windows command line (to open it, press Windows key + R, then type "cmd" without quotes and hit enter), what is outputted? You should see something like this:

I installed both. I ran the command prompt, however, the message did not appear when I typed python.

Figured that was the case. You need to add Python to the system environment variables. To do so:

What you want to add is the path to your Python installation directory as well as its Scripts directory, like so:
C:\Python27\
C:\Python27\Scripts
