Re: Trouble getting started on w2k

It seems that you read the Tutorial for LilyPond version 2.4 (which is the
latest stable version), but you have installed version 2.2.
If you read the Tutorial for your version, it will work much better!
Just follow the link to the Documentation of version 2.2.6 at 
www.lilypond.org.
