Can't activate virtualenv

So I've been using Django 1.7 for a while now and I have it set up in a virtualenv on Windows Vista. I would always activate the virtualenv from the command prompt with

./Scripts/activate

But for some reason, when I tried was using it again for the first time in several months, when I would try to activate it, I got

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I tried running the command

path/to/venv/Scripts/activate

(venv is the name of my virtualenv) And it would hang for about seven minutes then do nothing.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

On Windows all paths use backslash so probably you need to use .\Scripts\activate
