Hi Andrea,

one solution had been discussed on the pywin32 Ml recently. Look at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/python-win32@python.org/msg03932.html
unfortunal it doesn't work see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/python-win32@python.org/msg03935.html
Mark Hammond has announced a new release of pywin32 soon after his two 
weeks vacation and since he knows about the problem chances are really 
good that the new release solves the remaining problem.
