Try ls /home/* and see what it says. Do you have a seperate home partition?

EDIT:

just in case, this is ls as in LS in lowercase. Not IS in lower case.
 
I was typing i not l thanks now I got
<bin Desktop Documents public_html>
 
Yes you did but so far It did not help I was on IM 2 nights ago we tried everything is possible divx installer would not work.
 
right now I was trying to install some plugin for Xine I ran into the same wall
 
try this:
hit ctrl+alt+F2
that will bring you to another login prompt
login as root
cd to the directory that contains the files you want to install and try runing the ./install.sh and see what happens.

to get back to your normal desktop just hit ctrl+alt+F7

You need to use unzip command to unzip that package first.

As for .sh installer files, if you cannot run them sometimes you need to do chmod +x myfile first.

to unzip do you need linux zip soft?

Many distributions come with it installed.

Try looking for unzip or uzip.

This has me thinking you are not getting into root when you su.

login name should be: root
then use the root password


when you su it should ask for a pass you need to input the root pass not your user pass. When you su what does the last couple of characters look like at the prompt? Is it a $ or a #? the # would mean you are root.
 
"login name should be: root
then use the root password"

works
also
I did
open with> unzip>
works
as for the file<windows-all-20050115> is giving me
<command not found>

OK I see a big problem and it is with the way you are posting. What the hell does this mean:
as for the file<windows-all-20050115> is giving me
<command not found>

I have no clue what you typed or what you tried to do to the file to get the response you posted. If you are on that box then copy and paste. otherwise type it as it is shown in the terminal with the command you typed and the response.
