Kevin,
Also check the permissions on the problem users registry. I would
expect that to cause a different error, but it might be worth checking.
Most users are local admins. And it's just been happening for the last
couple of weeks, so it's likely what Roger said: a corrupt registry
entry. I tried upgrading to 211 last night and am waiting for that user
to login again. For some reason, after upgrading to 211, I am getting an
import error on my wx module. Are these tied together in some weird way?

Hi,
In one of my login scripts for work, I run a query to see
if the VNC
service is running using the win32serviceutil module. The
code for
that I am using looks something like this:
<code>
import win32serviceutil
serviceState = win32serviceutil.QueryServiceStatus('VNC
Server')[1]
</code>
This works in 99.99% of cases. However, I have on user
that keeps
getting the following traceback:

I forgot to mention that we use Windows XP, Python 2.4 and PyWin32
version 210.

You might want to try build 211. It uses the API function
GetServiceKeyName instead of manually enumerating the
registry.
However, it sounds like you could have a corrupt registry key.
Try reinstalling the service and see if that helps.
