when i try to code something it just gives me a new line without any
processing of the code. (for example:2+2 returns a new line)

You mean you get to the >>> prompt?
And you type 2+2 you get this:

2+2



With just a newline between your input and the next >>> prompt?

when I tried to change the path to the directory that contains python 31 and
enter *python (c:\python31>)*,

I'm not surprised it doesn't work, that should have python trying to start
executing a folder. But....

*fatal python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams

I get a very different message:

C:\Documents and Settings\Alan Gauld>python (C:\Python31)
python: can't open file '(C:\Python31)': [Errno 22] Invalid argument

When i change the directory to c:\python26 and then enter it works ok.
so can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Nope, sorry, I don't understand how the 2.6 version works if
you are passing in a folder as you did for 3.1

Do you know how to cut n paste from a cmd window>
It would probably help if you pasted in the actuall sessions
into your mail.

HTH,
