My ISP (satellite) can't do real-time telephony even if I wanted to. I don't spend a ton of time helping people. If you explain what you are doing, I can tell you where you've gone wrong. Please read my instructions carefully.
Ex is not yet by any means broadly adopted by the community, but I know at least 3 people who got it working. 1 with little to no trouble. 1 with a little assistance required. And 1 who I could've sworn was just messing with my head -- and thanks to that little session I've pretty much sworn off helping people set it up period. That said others should be qualified to help you also if you just explain what you're doing. And don't ask too much of them.
It's much easier to setup than say the DirectX SDK and even easier to work with than Som itself, so I suggest you stick with it, and if you're stuck ask specific questions. Not for someone to spend their afternoon catering to your needs. Getting Ex to work is the easy part anyway.
You could start by telling us what you're trying to do. I don't know if we know that you even have a working project space setup. Do you know where Som is installed on your computer, etc?
EDITED: I'd write up a comprehensive readme but I write for technical people, or at least that's how I think and I can't help myself... so the more detailed the instructions the more people tend to get lost. So I'm just hoping someone will eventually appreciate it enough to setup a tutorial that the kind of people who would have any trouble at all can relate to. I am in the process of setting up a website will include comprehensive documentation, but again it will be more geared towards experienced users wanting to get more out of Ex, because I just am not able to write for non-technical audiences. If you're doing it right it should only take a few seconds and about 5 click/drag operations or less... then you can start renaming/working with the ini files.
