installed from the windows installer - everything seems to be ok:

Which flavor of Windows? If NT or 2000 or XP, did you install with or without admin privs?

117 tests OK. 23 tests skipped: test_al test_cd test_cl test_crypt test_dbm test_dl test_fcntl test_fork1 test_gdbm test_gl test_grp t est_imgfile test_largefile test_linuxaudiodev test_nis test_openpty test_poll test_pty test_pwd test_signal test_sockets erver test_sunaudiodev test_timing

Unfortunately, the code in regrtest.py to format this list to fit screen width, and to say which skips are *expected* on win32, was new in 2.2, so ineligible for inclusion in a 2.1 bugfix release.
