First off you gave two minutes before posting your distress and then "quitting". Patience young one.
Second you found the forum button, which is all well and good, but did you happen to do a search before you posted? Did you think that maybe, just maybe, someone else in the time this game has been poisoned as well? No, I guess you didn't think that, or you would have looked up one of those threads and found your answer.
Before you clicked the forum button did you bother to check out the button 3 spots away, on the same line, titled help? No, probably not. If you had, you would have easily found a solution.
I'll be honest, if you aren't able or willing to search for answers, this may not be the game for you.
