no python mode for my gvim

[pygeek]

Hello everyone.
I have some problems regarding gvim and Python.
I have gvim 6.2 running under WinXP, with Python mode
feature included during compilation [+python/dyn].
Whenever I try to use gvim's python commands,
the following error messages would appear:

"E370: Could not load library python21.dll
E263: Sorry, this command is disabled, the Python library could not
be loaded."

I have Python 2.2.2 running and what concerns me is that,
I only have the file 'python22.dll' in C:\Windows\System32 and not
'python21.dll' as
required by gvim. How do i go about loading the .dll file for gvim?

Please advise. Thank you.

I guess you need to install a copy of Python 2.1 somewhere. You
can delete all the docs and samples if space is tight...

[ Or you might try finding the call to load the DLL
(loadlibrary()?)and change the name if its hard coded, but I
dunno if that will work, its probably too simple! ]

I'll try installing Python 2.1 later to see if it works.
question: how do i use the loadlibrary function?
i'm relatively new to gvim, sorry.
thanks for the reply.
