Drupal 7.x

Hi all, hope someone can help me solve this issue.. I am new to drupal so I haven't had a chance to dig in to the code as I will like to. My install is D7 on Win2008/IIS7.5

I have been pulling my hair out today trying to figure out a problem with image uploads. They upload just fine but .. they dont get moved/copied by the core image styles to the folders .../styles/thumbnails,medium,large/public/... etc.

I was trying to figure this out most of the day and couldnt so.. I thru XAMPP on my Windows 7 work laptop, grabbed the site files and a db dump and was ready to go home and work on this some more... to make sure I had everything I needed (to avoid having to vpn in later) I opened the local site and VIOLA, the images were there... WTF I say to myself, so i go back to the dev web server and look at the directories.. were they somehow being hidden?? ... nope.. no images.. on a hunch, I renamed an image on my local set up, and viewed the site locally again.. viola the thumbnail image is recreated again..

ok so I get it.. the images are created on the fly.. and or D7 looks to see if the image exists and if not, creates the 'styled' version..

I'm using chrome and the ad blocks are enable from block section (what do you mean with plus?)

Somehow the AdSense code is being modified when I add it to my site. ( http://www.libroaudio.com the ad should be displaying at the bottom side).

This is what the modified code shows on my site:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//--><![CDATA[// ><!--
<!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 300x250, created 4/23/11 */
google_ad_slot = "6114551285";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
//--><!]]>
</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
<!--//--><![CDATA[// ><!--

//--><!]]>
</script>

And this is the original from adsense:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 300x250, created 4/23/11 */
google_ad_slot = "6114551285";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Does someone knows where should I configure it in order to show the ads and not modify the code?
I'm using full html from text format, and tested with all formats including google format, tested with adsense module and with blocks also. but doesn't work.

I want the users to force them to use plain text format is it possible?

I'm new here. I found drupal interesting, so I make it a try. I'm using localhost, how can i see the frontend?
Thanks

i have a view that displays CDs info along with seller information like this

[hidden: cd-number]
title: Viva la Vida
artist: Coldplay
---------------
seller: seller 1
price: 10.00

seller: seller 2
price: 15.00

i wuld like to create a 'review' node with a comment body + fivestar rating that will be associated with this view but am stumped at how to link them by the cd-number. my ultimate goal is to have something like this:

I need to install a WYSIWYG that allows me to upload images from my pc to a drupal directory.

What do you recomend me?

Thanks.
