2. Do a google "groups" search on the error message

sometimes when I'm stuck that helps. Google groups is the same as usenet news. good luck.

4. Have someone else take a look at it with you

Unfortunately this kind of thing happens once in a while when you're programming. Sometimes the best way to get around it is to get a second pair of eyes involved.

5. You're not destined to fail. The world is not stacked against you.

You don't want people to think you're a whiner, do you? You'll be fine with a little more work.

6. His settings are different than yours.

Try a different machine - or restart.
Either that or figure out the differences (that seems harder though)

7. Just pop in some "Hungry Like the Wolf"

It'll make you feel better.
