what happens if you import "nltk" ?   if you still get an exception, you haven't
installed nltk in a proper way; double-checking the installation instructions might
help.

if importing nltk works, check if there's a "\python24\nltk\corpus\gutenberg.py"
or similar file.

if both the above are try, try doing this before importing the gutenberg module:

    import sys
    sys.path.insert(0, "c:/python24")
