'Morning all. Soon as I get the better half off and running--get a slug of java into my bilges, I'll be ready to have another go at it. It's Ante Meridian here at N39 x W90.

Admittedly, instructions presented via this medium can be confusing and easily misunderstood, particularly when arthritic fingers are thrown into the mix. lol. Sometimes the only way is eyeball to eyeball; but, in our case, IGD, the telephone will have to do.

I'm going to build a *.py script file for you this morning, one that I know works, only with your computer's parameters. I'll send it to you. We'll see if that doesn't make the grade.

I suspect the nuance is the fact your system is "Vista". Once we poke at it long enough, and find out what's acceptable to it...the process will be time consuming and tedious. So....

Caveat: If this doesn't work...

You may have to return to the Python.org site and get a different program, one more developed for your system.
Cheers.
