You say below that "both" IDLE's used to work. So what have you done to 
change the situation? What's different?

Great! Then you know that you can have both Python 2.7 and Python 3 
running IDLE on Windows 7 successfully.

What do you mean? Can you explain *precisely* what you did, and what 
happened? E.g.

"I clicked on the Start Menu, then clicked on X, then clicked on Y, then 
the computer went dark and turned off"

... or something.

I see from your email disclaimer that you are emailing from a company. 
Does your company have a Windows system administrator? If so, perhaps he 
or she could shed some light on what's going on? (I don't use Windows, so 
I'm a little lost myself.)


Good luck!
