Thank you, here is the message I got:

    ("uplevel" body line 1)

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

- Click the "Start" button
- On this menu, click the "Run..." item (almost at the bottom)
- In the small windows that opens, type "cmd" and click OK. This opens the command prompt.
- In this window, type:
    c:\python32\python.exe -m idlelib.idle

To copy the output, you can open the menu by clicking on the icon on the top-left corner of the window; select "Edit", "Select All" and press Enter to copy all the window text into the clipboard.
