OK, I'll be the first to admit I'm a dummy and need some help. Please, I need BASIC instructions on how to run this.

I have extracted the "pi" folder to my C: drive and open a cmd prompt window and cd to the pi directory and then I am stuck and can get nothing else to work.

Note that I am trainable. I asked for this type of basic help for mobidedrm and can now use that script quite nicely. I just need to learn how to get it to run.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: OK, I think I have figured out that the original script from caritas does not run under Windows. I did download the Windows version by ashkulz, but am still stuck. I do have python 2.6 and PIL installed.

EDIT yet again: here is a pic of the error message I am getting.
