With the Ren'Py launcher, click preferences > "Text Editor:" > select jEdit
You may manually download the text editor near the bottom of the Ren'Py
download page. Don't forget to extract to your renpy folder and select it within the preferences menu.
Also, search for the line
mm_root = "menu.jpg" in options.rpy (you may simply drop menu.jpg into your project's "game" folder).
These text editors shouldn't be having major problems... If you're new to this, feel free to read the documentation.
(Note: questions like these should be posted under the "Ren'Py Questions and Announcements" forum.)

I frequently indent things slightly wrong, often it's just a mistype. Also check the file is in the right folder and not a back-up folder of the same name

. Also check you haven't swapped a hyphen for an underscore in the filename.
