Summary: IDLE fails to start on WindowsME

Initial Comment:
 IDLE does not start on WindowsME. Bugs 780451 and

784183 have been consulted. Moving installation to

C:\Python\, or the newer, fixed (in relation to

previous bugs) C:\Python23\ fails to lauch IDLE.

Attempting default to C:\Program files\ fails, too.

 Both HKLM and HKCu installations have been attempted.

 This is unheard of, up to this version there weren't

any problems.

 Pythonwin's IDLE runs but complains "an error with DDE

conversation with Pythonwin" ( I *know* this is

somewhat Off-topic, but maybe it helps_.

 Bug 780451 should be reopened, IMHO.
