I'm not running Apache nor is anything else I'm running a server type
program (as far as I know). But, the /nodde option did the trick. Thanks a
lot.

  You are probably running some other application that prevents DDE message
processing.  Examples are Apache and some other "server" type programs.

  If you can't work out what it is, modify the Pythonwin shortcut to pass a
"/nodde" command-line option.  This will prevent Pythonwin from trying to
find an existing instance to switch to, and should pop up immediately.

  Mark.

    There seems to be something wrong with my Python setup. I am running
PythonWin under Windows ME. The first time that I try to run PythonWin each
day, the hourglass cursor appears for 5-10 seconds and then it goes away.
The IDE does not appear. If I try to start it again, I get a window with the
message "There was an error in the DDE conversation with PythonWin". I then
click on an OK button and PytonWin starts. The IDE seems to run normally
from that point on. Any thoughts on what's wrong.
