Tried that, didn't work. This may be just noise, but I did get the following in
the output window while the error popups were appearing:

-------------------------------------------

I notice that this is mostly from places where Python is trying to access the C
library. I forget how connecting to Python is done in the latest version of
WinCVS, but at least in older versions there was a perhaps error-prone method of
manually specifying the Python dll. According to
Admin>Preferences>WinCVS>Programs, in my system Python is loaded from

C:\Windows\System32\python26.dll

and TCL is from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Python26\DLLS\tcl85.dll



Hope this helps,
