We could really have used a sticky in the n900 forum, since it's the highest traffic, linking back to this thread.
If something like this happens again, i will suggest it to the mods. One sticky at the top of the forum might have saved us... about 25% of these theads. (Allowing that 75% of people wouldn't even read a sticky telling them what they were asking. )
Thanks for the help. I realized that this was probably answered somewhere, but I found no sticky and a search on the forums gave me a lot of irrelevant topics and posts.
