Installing Drupal

I'm following direction under the configuration and it seems to be off or I'm completely off.

The directions say:

Enable the throttle module:
Now you need to enable the throttle module. Return to the module administration page on your site at administer » modules and put a check mark in the status column, then click 'Save configuration'.

These above say to put a check mark in the status column. To my knowledge there is no status column. I have two columns in my installation and those are Enable and Throttle. I'm sure that it means the enable column but correct me if I'm wrong. Now I also have to assume that they are talking about THROTTLE as being the check I'm putting in the status column, because it doesn't really say. It just says to do it. So I've done what I think it means.

Now I go to the next step to enable the THROTTLE STATUS BLOCK under the block admin. These are the directions: Enable the "throttle status" block:
In order to properly tune the auto-throttle on your website, we need to have an understanding of how much traffic your site gets. The throttle module provides a block for this purpose. Go to the block administration page on your site at administer » blocks, and enable the "Throttle status" block. For this example, do not check "custom" or "throttle", but feel free to adjust the "weight" and "region" for whatever you prefer. Now click "Save blocks".

DEAR FRIENDS,
I MADE A HEAVY MISTAKE ON MY DRUPAL.
I DISABLED USER-LOGIN BLOCK AND NOW I CAN NOT ENTER TO MY SITE.
I WAS TRIED WITH THE FOLLOWING:
1)http://localhost/drupal/?q=user or
2)http://localhost/drupal/user

AND NOTHING SHOW ME USER-LOGIN BLOCK.

PLEASE, HELP ME, I AM VERY WORRY ABOUT THIS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I deleted a few stories from my site. Now, on the front page of the site, are two blocks that look like they should have content, but say "n/a" on them.

I can't delete them, they have no titles to click on to delete! And there is no record of them in my posting record...

Does anyone know what causes this, and how I can get rid of them?

i've tried installing drupal about five times and have had no luck. Heres what i go through for an install, someone please tell me if they see something wrong with it.

I have installed drupal and set up pretty much EVERYTHING, including creating a custom smarty-based theme, but I don't know how to get any links to any of the content/categories. I've created a few pages but I have no idea how to create navigation for them. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
