OK - I'm seeing this problem on a few people's machines.  I'm not quite
sure what is causing it, because it isn't a problem on my development
machine.

If you see this error and have the time to do so, please do the
following:
Download depends.exe from http://www.dependencywalker.com/
Open site-packages/visual/cvisual.dll from within the program.
It should pop up some kind of error that a bunch of libraries cannot be
found.  Click OK and continue.
Select Options->Configure Module Search Order
At the bottom of the dialog, type C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\gtkrun
\bin, and click "Add Directory"
When asked to refresh the current session, click Yes
Let me know all of the errors that remain.

If you _don't_ see this error, please let me know which version of
Windows you are running, which OpenGL drivers you have installed, and
which video card you have installed.

Thanks,
