wxPython+py2exe+win98 ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not functioning

Hello.  I've recently discovered py2exe and wanted to give
it a test run (I'm looking for a good software distribution
system for Python on Windoz).  

I was able to make an executable of a command-line python
program, and it workes just great on my Win2K development
box, and my Win98 install.  Further, I was able to create a
wxPython program (the first example from the wxpython.org
tutorial) and it works great on Win2K.  However, the
executable created gives the following error when I run it
on a fresh copy of Win98:                         

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in ?
    File "imputil.pyc", line 88, in _import_hook
    File "<string>", line 20, in _import_top_module
    File "imputil.pyc", line 197, in import_top
    File "imputil.pyc", line 252, in _import_one
    File "<string>", line 95, in _process_result
    File "wxPython\__init__.pyc", line 20, in ?
    File "imputil.pyc", line 78, in _import_hook
    File "imputil.pyc", line 323, in _do_import
    File "imputil.pyc", line 248, in _import_one
    File "<string>", line 130, in get_code
  ImportError: DLL load failed: A device attached to
               the system is not functioning.

I was wondering if other people have the same problem
or if I'm doing something wrong here.  Thanks!  Clark Evans
