I apologise. I don't know what 'bottom posting' & 'top posting' mean.

Those of us who understand this may be forgiven for speculating

I'm sorry that I accidentally triggered off so much more heat than light by
my innocent response when rebuked for 'top posting'. Sadly my original
urgent request for help ('Incomprehensible error message') has got buried
under all this & I have got nowhere. Any hope there?
May I make a gentle & constructive suggestion? Some of us 'undiscovered
species of primates' turn to this site for help in difficulties which are
obviously irritatingly elementary to many of the users, for whom the site is
clearly a forum for highly advanced enthusiasts. It doesn't seem to me the
best combination. Could there not be a separate help site for those like me
who try and try, but find computer language very hard to master---and beg
from time to time for simple abc directions? Distractedly, TS
