Starting Python in XP Pro

[Grant Andrew]

I'm a beginning user with some challenges.  I have installed and uninstalled
several versions with the same results - I can't get IDLE to work, nor can I
associate .py files with Python.

So I can get the interactive shell interface but nothing else.  I'm
currently running ActiveState 2.6.

Any thoughts on where to begin are appreciated.

Thanks!

Grant
