I think what I am doing is a bit simplistic but just inserting the
code in the form to display the form doesn't seem to force people to
actually have to fill it out. I tried to stick a little validation
script in the form to make someone have to fill out that field but
it's hidden in an iframe so if I hit submit it still goes through
weather you fill it out or not! That doesn't do any good. How can I
make it required that they fill it out?

Here is my page http://www.losmedanos.edu/music/form2.htm

I am on IIS windows server 2003

I am a bit overwhelmed with all the options of install here and don't
quite know what is for me.

Hi Eloine,

After someone click on submit, you need to verify that the response he
entered in the field named recaptcha_response_field is correct. So,
you need to send a http request to the recaptcha server to verify that
the response is correct.
Everything is explained here : http://recaptcha.net/apidocs/captcha/
If you don't know how to do it, you can use the resources available at
http://recaptcha.net/resources.html
for example the php library provide one easy function to do the
request to the recaptcha server and get back true or false depending
on the answer of the user.

That's my problem. My server does not use PHP. It uses ASP. I need an
ASP script to verify the response and I can't seem to follow the
example they have in PHP to make it work in my environment. Has anyone
done this and are willing to share?
