Most of the time, the interpreter doesn't show up and when it does and I am trying to run a program it displayed the following message: "IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection."  Can you please help me with this. It'd be a huge help.

It might be caused by trying to run a program whose name is the same as 
one of Python's standard modules, so that when Python tries to use the 
module, it gets your program instead.
