Today I decided to try it on Vista 32-bit, SP2.  Also, this was pristine 
code right off the Anaconda bundle.

This time when I right-click, open on "Python Path Shell Browser" I see 
a brief blip, like it wanted to draw the window frame but decided not 
to.  This was the only visible difference (and I think even that could 
be accounted for by the slower speed of the machine).

Again, I run mmc and look at the syslogs.  Nothing.

That's a pretty old system.  Just curious, when was the last time 
anybody has tried this example?  Its starting to feel like the 
non-workingness may have been around for a long time.
