    I have to install Python in order to run a file. I downloaded something but I keep getting error messages. Can somebody point me out to the Vista-32 Python link?

    It's a script that should work with another applicaton. I was told to save it as .py and install python. I used notepad, should I use something else? I have no idea how Python works.

    Ah, my mistake. I thought you already downloaded Python. Here's the link to download Python: http://www.python.org/download/ . Pick the one that says "Python 2.5.2 Windows installer" since you're using Vista-32.
