Edward, thank you for your response. I wasn't expecting a reply from someone so high up! :-)
Having followed your links, I now have Leo installed, and also PyQt (which *did *finish installing, but I actually don't see a PyQt directory anywhere, although there are plenty of filenames containing "*PyQt*" in my Python34 directory... ) So far so good. But when I try to open Leo by double-clicking on its icon, and putting my 3 initials into the "Enter Leo id" dialogue which says leoID.txt not found, nothing happens. "Run as Administrator" doesn't work either. I've tried searching for the leoID.txt file, but can't find one in the obvious places. Do you have any suggestions? Do you have a file in the correct format, I can manually put in somewhere, to get me going? Once again, thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Pete.
