When I shut down IDLE on Windows 2000 Professional 
running Python 2.2.1 I get a popup with "TclNotifier: 
pythonw.exe - Application Error" in the name bar 
and "The instruction at "0x77fcb144" referenced memory 
at "0x00b3300010". The memory could not be "read"."  
in the message box.

I'm sure you see this, and it's probably a bug somewhere, but 
nobody else is seeing this. We tested IDLE and Python 2.2.1 
on Windows 2000 and we don't see this here. So I doubt 
you're going to have much luck getting this fixed.

Do you have a virus detector installed? Try turning it off.

I have a Norton AntiVirus 2001.  When I shut it down, IDLE 
then works fine.  When I turn it back on, IDLE still works 
fine.  Amazing.

Antivirus software is one of the leading causes of
mysterious Python failures.
