OK, I did the check that you mentioned (deleted the entire directory C:\Python26 before reinstalling Python). That didn't help.
I ran Dependency Walker on _path.pyd and got the following:
First, it lists the four DLLs that it did not find: MSVCR90.DLL, MSVCP90.DLL, DWMAPI.DLL, EFSADU.DLL.
Further down, I see the following entry:
c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.1_x-ww_6f74963e\MSVCR90.DLL
and I did verify that the file is present at that location.
The location is somewhat different from what you have shown below. Does that matter?
I don't know why the same file MSVCR90.DLL shows up first in the "not found" category and then later with the proper location.
For a different data point, in a Windows Vista installation, Python 2.6 + numpy 1.3.0 + matplotlib 0.99.1 works fine and I do not have this problem. The problem seems to be restricted to Windows XP.
Dilip.

Please check if there are python26.dll or "Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest"
files left in your Python directory. If yes, remove those files.
If that does not help, run Dependency Walker on python26.dll (should be
in your system folder), enable "Full Paths" view and report the
MSVCR90.DLL path. It should be
<c:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a\MSVCR90.DLL>
I assume the missing DWMAPI.DLL and EFSADU.DLL dependencies come from
IE7/8 and can be ignored.
