WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THIS SOFTWARE?!

 I don't know what the technical problem is, but I would politely point out:

1. Typing things in all caps is considered shouting

2. Shouting at the people who might be able to help you is probably not the
best way to get help (to put it mildly)

3. Remember that the people who might be able to help you do so on a
volunteer basis (also, see #2 above)

You may be frustrated, but you're not doing yourself any favors by being
rude.
