It runs perfectly for me, on several Windows XP machines running a variety of service packs, so it's not a general Windows XP problem. Do you get any error messages? any indication as to what might be wrong that you can share with use? Does it crash ? Does anything happen when you click the start menu item? Just a thought though, during the installation of Python on one machine it mentioned that a dll was missing from my machine, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it and see if the text you get at some point tells you that this dll is missing. I find it various places on the web, and I remember the text said something about Idle or Pythonwin, so it might be what you need. I think the name was something like MSVCRT71.DLL but don't think I got it 100% right just there... :P -- Lasse Vågsæther Karlsen http://usinglvkblog.blogspot.com/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP KeyID: 0x2A42A1C2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
