why did wxpython MakeActiveXclass stopped working?!?!!?!?

[jojoba]

Hi Phillipe!
Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately, i have also reinstalled pywin32, and i still get the
same error.

Isn't this weird?
You know what else.

I have a py2exe version of this code, that actually runs fine, using
the embedded windows media player. But Im guessing i made that py2exe
distributable with older pywin32 and older wxpython.
This makes me think that one of the newer versions of pywin32 or
wxpython is giving me that error trouble.

Any other ideas on how to rectify this?
Thanks again,
jojoba
