Solutions aren't "lame" if those solutions are known to work. Since it was you who neglected to detail all the steps you've already tried, you're hardly in a position to get short with those who're only offering assistance and suggesting you try the most commonly known solution to your problem.

Being the competent builder you are, you should know that comparing one game to another is comparing apples to oranges.

I'd like to help, but fear getting my head bit off again, so perhaps you'd be so kind as to list everything you've tried?
