Idle won't start

[Kerry Neilson]

For the past couple of months, Idle won't start when I invoke it.  I
am at a complete loss for why this is.  When this happens, they python
command line still starts, and python works fine otherwise.
Most interesting to me is that a reboot won't fix the problem.  But if
I just try it again sometime later it will work.  Anyone have any
ideas?  I'm running python 2.3 on windows 2000 professional.
