What does it say when it crashes?

My guess is that the path to the Tcl library is not found.  Try adding
C:/Program Files/Tcl/bin (or wherever you've installed Tcl/Tk 8.0) to
the PATH variable.  (Recently, someone posted details here on how to
use regedit to change the path for a specific application; search
Deja.com for Python, Path and AppPath.  If someone still has that
post, would they mind adding it to the FAQ wizard?)
