Wow--kind of weird to be on this side of the equation, but here goes!

I downloaded the win32 version of Lyntin 4.1 from the website and
installed it.  When I try to launch Lyntin using runlyntin.py (I renamed
the pyw file to py so I get a window that gives me a stack trace), I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\wguaraldi\Desktop>runlyntin.py
Exception in Tkinter callback

LookupError: unknown encoding: 1252


I don't know about encodings and such and don't recall adding any
encoding/decoding to the tkui so I'm not sure how to go about fixing it.

Any thoughts?
