Python IDLE GUI

Hello.  I downloaded and installed Windows Python-2.3.exe.
The install appears to be successful.  There is a Start menu
item showing "Python 2.3"  --> "IDLE (Python GUI)".

When I select this, nothing appears on my Windows 2000 screen.

However, if I look at the task manager, I see "pythonw.exe",
which I assume applies that the process is indeed running.

I expect some sort of GUI to open.

I checked the INSTALL.LOG file.   The only thing that possibly looks 
fishy is:

Any ideas on what I should try next?

Thanks,
