After downloading and running Python2-1.exe to install 
Python 2.1 on Windows 98 we are finding that the Idle 
application does not appear to run at all.

Clicking on Idle causes the hourglass to come up 
momentarily and then -- nothing.

Any ideas as to what is wrong?

I run IDLE under 2.1 on Win98 every day.  No problem.

From where did you obtain Python?  "Python2-1.exe" isn't a 
file name I recognize, so I don't know, for example, 
whether you got 2.1 from python.org, or ActiveState, or 
etc.  You certainly didn't get a file named Python2-1.exe 
from python.org.  The distributions differ in some 
respects, so we can't make any progress here without more 
info from you.

Closed as "Works For Me":  it's heading on 2 weeks and 
there's been no followup from the anonymous submitter, 
neither any other reports of this behavior.
