PythonWin + Tkinter = broken relation with WindowsXP !?!?!

[Roger Upole]

What version of pywin32 are you running ?
You might want to try upgrading to build 204

a toolbar registry key was written multiple times,
which eventually fills up the registry and slows
the machine down, along with some
strange window behaviour.
