Is anybody planning to answer this question for Marc or are you relying
on the "Windows lover" to be the sole source of assistance?  As far as I
can tell, I'm the only person bothering to speak with Marc (on ICQ)
about his problem.  Unfortunately I'm about as competent to help him as
an average brick lying discarded in a construction site.

I've been counselled in private email to be "polite and respectful" if I
want help from the Ubuntu community.  I've gone over my storage and seen
about a dozen messages (Marc's included) in the past ten days or so
alone that were politely and respectfully worded that got rewarded for
it by being completely ignored.  Is this really the way you want to
train your newbies?
