[python-win32] WMI troubles!

[Alex Hall]

Let's try this. Here is the stack trace when I ran my program. It ran fine, 
even calling the getLoad function once since that call is built into the 
code, not dependent on a keypress. This trace printed after I pressed win-`, 
the keypress I have assigned, through pyHook, to trigger a call to getLoad. 
If you want, you can change the call to getLoad to getFreeRam and a similar 
error occurs, pasted below this one.

Error from keypress calling getLoad():
C:\Users\Alex>python c:\prog\python\sys.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
