Are you sure the code is being executed at all?  I cant imagine how these
could silently do nothing.

Why not?  I would bet its not on the sys.path.  Just before the import, add
a  "print sys.path".  Frozen programs can use .pyd files fine.

Im sure that it is just path fiddling.  (OK - I hope it is :-)

OK - the .ini file may not have an entry for win32api.  Im afraid I havent
use the latest version of freeze, and cant recall exactly what is in it, but
basically you need to have freeze find a [win32api] section in one of the
.ini files.
