I did that. Went to cmd python25 which contains the script and did dir*.py and nothing was found. Then did dir*.txt and there it was. Mobidedrm.py 0.02.txt
So I have tried to rename on the command line and in explorer. What next? Thanks for helping.

If this is the name of the file: "Mobidedrm.py 0.02.txt"

You need to rename it: "Mobidedrm02.py"

I renamed it as suggested and ran dir *.py and got "file not found". However, it no longer shows up as a .py .txt file. It just doesn't show up. Isn't this fun? Thanks so much for your help.

If you are using explorer to rename it, then you will see it in your explorer window. If you use explorer to view that directory, you should also see it there.

I suggest you download Python 2.6.

Apparently you didn't rename it properly. Do a rename in explorer again... right click on file, choose rename... then right arrow until the cursor is right after the "y" and then press the delete button until the " 0.02.txt" is deleted, then press enter.

You should now see it in explorer as "mobidedrm.py".

No, but mobidedrm was included with the files when I downloaded it.

What? You are saying that the mobidedrm.py script is included in the python2.6 installer download?

I take that back. I don't know how I got a copy of it. I have python 26 installed in Vista and in XP. For some reason I have it on Vista but not XP and I don't know where I got it.

I'm not sure if rename shows the filename extension if they are "hidden". If you select "Folder Options" in Windows Explorer, then "View", and clear the "Hide extensions for known file types" box you'll then definitely see the extensions.

In Explorer, I now see mobidedrm02.py but if I try to run it the message is "not recognized as an internal or external command." So something is missing or I'm missing something.

Have you had a chance to read the Visual Kindle Guide? It will teach you how to run python scripts. You should check out the beginning of KindlePID to learn how to put the python scripts in your path and KindleFIX as a mirror on what you're trying to do.

I read all of that before and have just reread it again. I just don't see where I have done anything different. I downloaded python26 but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Still says not recognized as an internal or external command. One thing maybe: When I type mobidedrm on the command line, shouldn't I see something happen or do I actually have to have a book in place before anything at all happens. With clit, I got several messages before I ever tried a book. And it works just fine. Why should this be any different? Any more suggestions. Thanks again for all the help.

If you just entered the script name (including the ".py" part) at the command prompt and hit enter, you would get instructions on how to write the command.
