pythonwin still broke

I uninstalled Python and Pythonwin.  I verified that there was nothing left
in the registry or the startup folder.  I reinstalled Python using
Python-2.3.4.exe and Pythonwin using win32all-163.exe.

It's still broke.

The shortcut in the startup folder says

    Target: C:\Python23\Pythonwin.exe
    Start in: C:\Python23\lib\site-packages

When I open Pythonwin that way, once I open a file from the File menu, the
menu buttons on the new window and on the main Pythonwin frame become
inoperable.

I can keep that from happening by changing the Target to
C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\pythonwin\start_pythonwin.pyw.  (Just a wild
guess on my part.)  But then there's a different problem.  When I try to run
a module, I get the message,
