It would be helpful if you were extremely detailed and precise in your explanations.
If it is the mobidedrm that is not recognized, then your folder structure is not correct, or your command line usage is incorrect. As TallMomof2 said, double check your folder names and use proper commands at the command prompt. After you are in the correct directory, the command prompt will look like this: C:\python(or python25). You should be able to then type in mobidedrm, hit enter, and a list of options and the usage will come up. If not, then you are doing something wrong.
If your PID is being rejected, then either the book was downloaded using none of your PIDs, your PIDs are mistyped, or the file is corrupted. Does the book open in MobiReader? If so, then it not corrupted and the PID is correct. It is your command line usage that is incorrect. If not, then the PID for your computer is incorrect at the bookstore, or the file is corrupted. Either way, delete your Kindle PID in the bookstore and re-enter your computer PID. Redownload the book. Run mobidedrm using the computer PID on the newly downloaded book. If you have gotten the command line sorted out, it should run fine. It should look like this:
c:\python25 mobidedrm book.prc book.mobi PID

Sorry that I am so vague, but I am not used to 'computer speak'. Many thanks for the constructive suggestions and I will go through them today and also check files, if that doesn't work, I am going to start from the beginning
again.....slowly.
Cheers
COMMAND PROMPT
Right. Typed in cd c:\Python25 ..enter.. c:\Python25>
Typed in >Mobidedrm2 ......'not recognised as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch number.
Typed>mobidedrm.............it came up with the same as above.
Went into PATH and have: ;c:\Python25 ;c:\Python25\Tools\Scripts
Mobidedrm2
ON MY DESKTOP
I have an Icon for Python, and in it is: Mobidedrm2.
The book which I am trying to convert comes up in Mobipocket Reader just fine.
The Device Number is the one for my iPaq and I have double checked, and it's correct.
Jinxed?
