Django manage.py only returning list of subcommands and options

I'm sure I'm overlooking something very simple, but I've tried multiple times and still run into the same problem.

I have installed Python 2.7.1 and Django 1.2.4 on Windows Vista.

I create a project using django-admin startproject projectname. It successfully creates the folders and files needed.

I then try running manage.py runserver and all I receive in return is the available commands and options for manage.py.

What am I missing here? I see no output other than this.

Thanks in advance.

have you run manage.py runserver and if you have, then try python manage.py runserver?
