same problem here.

Well, the problem seems not to be 64bit specific. But is with 
build 216 and 215 on 32bit as well; and with all Python versions. 
Something changed critically with 215 build.

The problem is not when starting through Pythinwin.exe (IDE), but 
only when starting with python(w).exe + win32ui
(Even when the Pythonwin IDE is raise sucessfully through a script 
on python(w).exe, the problem is there)

Is there a special manifest in Pythonwin.exe ?
