Thanks for your reply, Allan.  I am not sure what you mean by "the 
Windows installer package" -- a *.msi file?.  I cannot find a *.msi file 
at Sourceforge, which is where the <pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe> came 
from.  When I use the latter (I have uninstalled and reinstalled using 
this many times now!), I get no error entries in the Event Viewer. 
However, when I try to open PythonWin, the Event Viewer shows the 
following message:

"Faulting application pythonwin.exe, version 2.6.212.0, faulting module 
mfc90.dll, version 9.0.21022.8, fault address 0x0004453f."
