Well, i think i better give up on Kicad.
Made a fresh install in Win7 SP1, and tried to follow the YouTube tutorial #1.

It does not help that the video image is SMALL and BLURRY (no, "full screen" does not help).

Got the component, but the instruction to "click on this button" cannot work because it does not exist.
In fact, the top array of icons DO NOT MATCH in number or type.

Still NO WAY to get a selected component into the working schematic screen.
