[PYTHON IMAGE-SIG] PIL Install Problems

[fbowie@resumix.com]

Hi,  (I'm new to all of this so please don't scream at my silly questions   
:)

I'm really hyped about PIL.  I'm trying to run it under PythonWin and   
keep
getting the same error when I try to load a file:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python1.3\Lib\Image.py", line 324, in open
    raise IOError, "cannot identify image file"
IOError: cannot identify image file
>>>

Trying to import the modules manually does not seem to help.
PYTHONPATH is set.  Is there some env. var. for PIL that I must set?
Any hope for Acrobat file support?

(P.S. yes, all the modules are in python\lib)
Many thanks
