I am trying to activate IDLE, any idea how I might do that? I have a 'Phython' window open but it doesn't seem to have the functionality that IDLE does (not sure if my terms are correct)

Is your screen black? Or do you have a white screen which at the top has an options bar and is called 'Shell'?

If you have the Shell, all you really have to do is go to file and open a new window, write it there and (file) Run Module.

If you have the black screen you have to find where you saved Python and find idle... if this is the case, post...

Try typing 1+1 and hit enter. If the shell returns 2 it's probably working... if it wont respond to that try typing in a string or running a program... otherwise just uninstall python and re-download if all else fails.
