on the Vista machine, the one with Python 2.5.4, it looks as if you have a previous installation of Python which may be interfering with Inkscape. I believe the Inkscape version should be Python 2.6.5. To get this you may need to run the Python command directly from the Inkscape directory as follows:

C:\Program Files\Inkscape>inkscape -V
RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe'
Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 (Aug 14 2011)

C:\Program Files\Inkscape>python\python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import lxml
>>> quit()

it might be worthwhile to try running Inkscape from a DOS prompt as above to see if this helps.
