Thanks for the quick responses! I admit that putting the dlls directly into the System32 folder was a rookie move, but I desperately wanted to get twisted up and running :). So now I have a few more questions if you don't mind answering them. Like I said before, I am a rookie so I am simply following whatever it tells me to do in the O'Reilly Twisted Network Programming Essentials book so I downloaded and installed the following: pyOpenSSL-0.8.winxp32-py2.5.msi pycrypto-2.0.1.win32-py2.5.exe Twisted_NoDocs-8.2.0.win32-py2.5.exe So do I still have to install openSSL on my machine even though I installed all of those? Also do I have to use Python 2.5 if I want to use pycrypto and pyOpenSSL? And finally I was looking around and I didn't see anything that stated that Vista is even supported. Could that be another problem I might run into. Thanks again for all the help.
