Dear Ross: The combined Python package hosted by Active State is convenient, but does not always stay up to date. The current build of pywin32 is 214. Many bug fixes have happened in that time. I just tried the build 214 COM browser on my Vista Basic and it works correctly.
You may want to try re-installing python from the official sources: http://python.org/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ If that does not fix the problem, please let us know here. -- Vernon Cole On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 1:37 AM, Ross Boylan <rossboy...@stanfordalumni.org>wrote: > The Python COM browser (pywin32 build 211.1), available from the Tools menu > of the PythonWin GUI (downloaded yesterday from active state) doesn't seem > to be working so well on Vista.
