I had exactly that problem. I think it means that you upgraded an old Tcl 
system but there are still copies of the old Tcl80.dll files lying around 
somewhere and python is finding those in preference to the new ones.
Delete tcl80.dll from the \winnt\system32 directory or wherever they 
are, and add the tcl bin directory (e.g. D:\Progra~1\Tcl\Bin) to the end of 
your path in the control manager/system/environment settings.
