Check for "extra" DLLs being bundles with your application - py2exe can 
sometimes mistakenly pick up some OS DLLs from the windows the 
distribution was built on, which then fail to load on different OS 
versions.  powrprof.dll is a regularl culprit.  Once you find them, tell 
py2exe to ignore them (using dll_excludes IIRC).
