Which exact version?  From what source?  How did you download (from 
where) or compile?  How did you install?  How do you try to run it?

Google return 76000 hits for 'terminate@@YAXXZ', so this appears to not 
be a unique issue in some form or another.

It seems like your installed python.exe is corrupt.  Make sure you have 
a final release.  I would re-install, possibly after re-downloading from 
python.org.  If you download from anywhere else, *they* are responsible 
for getting the compile options correct.
