Well Steve, i will try to help you!
1 - Make sure to put Python at the system path. I mean, you can run python at prompt?
2 - After that, make sure C:\PythonXX\Scripts is on system path as well.
3 - Now, you need to create your project. Try to run django-admin.py to see if there's any information. If yes, go ahead and create your project with django-admin.py startproject project_name
And finally how you create your project, apps and so on!
Go ahead and try the tutorial. It's the first step to make anything, otherwise, you will always get stuck =D
Hope it helps =D
Cheers!
