We can't see you, see you need to draw a more detailed verbal picture of
what you tried.

There is no chance that PythonWin could work after what you described, since
PythonWin is a separate download from py152.exe.

As for IDLE, did you also install Tcl/Tk?  If not, that's your problem.  Or
if so, bring up a DOS box, cd to your Python installation directory, and try
this:

D:\Python>python
Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import Tkinter
>>> Tkinter._test()

If that doesn't pop up a little dialog box, copy+paste whatever error msgs
you get.  Those msgs will probably show up in the FAQ somewhere too.
