It sounds like you're having exactly the same problem that I did (and I almost went bald from tearing my hair out). My book was valid, both my PIDs were valid, the version of python was up-do-date, but nothing I did would get past the infuriating "invalid PID" error.

Isn't this forum great?! When I caught the gremlins I searched and found this thread - so I knew your problem was the same. I couldn't see a solution though and thought you'd given up!
Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried that, and am trying it again with the assistance of one our wonderful techies here on the site. It's proving very complicated and the situation isn't helped by the fact that I'm a complete numpty on the tech side. Like you, all I want to do is read books!!

Thanks
Chris
