Which version of XBMC are you running? Which skin are you using? Can your cousin give any help to you?

Dan,
If you have used XBMC for 18 months and not updated then you are missing out on all the latest juicy goodness XBMC has to offer Smile
I would recommend that you take a look at the home page for XBMC and download the 'Live' version - burn it to a CD or put on a USB pen and boot from it.
You can then play around with the latest XBMC and try things out without screwing up your install (as everything is run from the CD) - Just make sure you don't choose install as that will actually put it onto your PC rather than run it from the CD.

If you can give us some specs on your PC and exactly what you'd like to achieve we can probably advise better, but that should get you started..

Sure sounds like xbmc for xbox, based on the explanation, which means you'll have to learn the joy of networking and ftp.

I bet 99% of the questions you have is on the wiki if you bothered to search, the forums are also searchable.
