[mod_python] Apache wont load/start...

So everyone on the mailing list knows, problem solved. See below.

My question now is at what point did Python 2.5 get installed,
apparently as Administrator? Did you subsequently uninstall it or is
it still on your system somewhere?

What might have also worked is if you uninstalled Python 2.4, ensuring
user registry entries were cleaned up and then reinstall Python 2.4 as
Administrator.

Thanks for the feedback, slowly each bit of information we get helps
to clarify how some peoples systems end up in this state.

BTW, the configuration for this mailing list means that you need to
use reply-all for response to go back to the mailing list.
