What kind of gibberish? Actual garbage characters and the like? Anyway, maybe try running which; this one should be easy to get going: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/which.htm But I have never used it, I use the one in this package: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ It expects 'python.exe' or whatever, not just 'python', I would expect the gnuwin32 version to behave similarly. max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
