Haven't seen this one before (and I've seen a lot of win32 errors!).
Is this your first attempt at a win32 install or just your first one
that's given you problems?

As much as possible, try to give yourself a clean environment. If
you've installed previous versions of GTK / pygtk /whatever, no
telling what crazy things reside in your C:\Windows\System\Whatever
that may be creeping mysteriously into your PATH. Given your comment

It seems especially likely you have a version conflict.
If possible, try a clean install of python, GTK-Runtime and pygtk.
Put the GTK runtime in C:\GTK to avoid problems with paths that have
spaces in them -- I've seen countless problems arising from people
using the default install location for the GTK runtime (the default
location has a space in the path name) and then not setting the path
properly. Try launching a new command shell (Run->Command->RETURN)
and typing (or something close to this for your platform)
C:> set PATH=C:\Python23;C:\GTK\lib;C:\GTK\bin;C:\Windows\System;C:\Windows\Command
C:> python
>>> import pygtk
>>> pygtk require ('2.0')
>>> import gtk
and let us know what happens at this point.

Good luck!
