The pywin32 post-install script seems to break with the current Python 
3.1 builds, and as a result, the pywin32 DLLs were probably not copied 
correctly.

Try re-executing the post install script by:

* Start a command-prompt by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting 
'Run as Administrator'.

* Execute '\python31\python.exe \python31\scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py 
-install' (changing the paths as necessary).

It should succeed as it is running from a console, and you might find 
that fixes things.

HTH,
