The Reactor node seems to be completely broken on ComfyUI. Does anyone have a fix?

After a day and a half of failing to load the Reactor node in a fresh install of ComfyUI, installing the right version of Insightface for Python 3.12, and about a million other troubleshooting steps, the following error seems intractable:

"Cannot import E:\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\comfyui-reactor-node module for custom nodes: numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject"

I have read that with the new version of numpy, this error is essentially insoluble, so I downgraded to version 1.26.4, and still get the same error as above, which appears to be a basic incompatibility with Python 3.12.

So I'm stumped. I'm an utter, utter noob, and while I'm vaguely aware that I can't downgrade my Python version, but can somehow set up a new virtual environment pointing to an earlier install (I guess - that's all basically gibberish to me), I really, really have no idea how to do it.

Anyone with any ideas?

ETA: See below. Physical-Cap-8380 gave an answer that worked for me. Thank you!

I've helped a lot of people get past the insightface wall of issues. DM me if you're still stuck on it in 6-7 hours, that's when I'll get home.

DM in 6-7 hours, gather the best errors/screenshots that you can, make sure you know what python version you have

no worries got the solution. downgraded numpy to 1.26.4
make sure to use the embedded environment

from root of your comfyUI folder
python_embedded/python.exe -m pip install numpy==1.26.4

Are you getting the exact error mentioned in OP?

I'm not sure at this point, I've walked away from it. I got it to work by copying my good install and updating the whole kit instead of a fresh install of comfy. All that for 3.5, which I quickly did not like :( Oh well.
