Is c:\program files\python24 the directory where python.exe is?
You can try two things:
1. Use "c:\program files\python24" in the PATH environment variable, i.e.
   with the quotes.
2. Set emacs' variable py-python-command to the location of the python
   executable, e.g.
   (setq py-python-command "c:\\program files\\python24\\python.exe")
   or use customize to set that variable.
