Rick, can you run python? What happens with 'import tkinter'?
I do not know IDLE well (if at all after all this time). Make sure that you have installed the prerequisites.

This is the right thing to do when there is a problem, as some error messages get delivered to the console. The prime example is the above. If Idle cannot import tkinter, it cannot use a tkinter message box.
