Telling us what version number will help. Using PythonWin 132 is best if
you are running Python 1.5.x.

Autocompletion requires some symbols to be loaded. I don't know all the
ways this can happen but in the interactive window try
import win32api
win32api.
After you press the '.' you should see a list appear.
Syntax highlighting should just happen - it even looks as though Mark has
dropped the option to turn off syntax highlighting.

Help is bad too? Your machine is posessed by the anti-Python! Try
uninstalling and reinstalling. And use Python 1.5.2 and PythonWin 132.
