Initial Comment:
IDLE does not start. 2.4.3  
Installed Python 2.4.3 on Windows XP SP 2

1. Start up a command line (Start -> Run -> cmd).
2. Change to the directory in which Python is installed (the
following will likely work, if you installed Python using
the default configuration)...
c:
cd \python24
3. Run idle from the command line...
python lib\idlelib\idle.pyw

Tell us what it prints out.
