photo not working ow

Even the simple background method doesn't work.
1. FSX running I am at my scenery
2. open SbuilderX
3. show aircraft and show background
4. tiles load fine
5. right click in work area, choose background compile to bgl
6. put that bgl into the scenery restart FSX
7. go to that location..................... no change in scenery whatsoever!!!!!
Of course maps don't work either. All files that need to be in work folder are there. I see the bmp.
When I do my blend mask I put it there. (I don't know if I am supposed to change the blend mask to a greyscale THEN do my blending or just leave it in color and do the blending- instructions are not clear about this.) Anyway I then have the bmp and the tif (samefilename_B.tif)
I see no filename ending in txt which I thought was supposed to be there. If I make a map I then will see photo01.txt but not filename.txt.
Most important- I just installed Acceleration and updated by going to my accel disk and clicking on sdk.msi.
I used to have sp2 or sp2a. There is an SbuilderX note that says that maybe I need to copy the tools in my sdk to sbuilderx main folder. I do not know which tools to get, or where they are in sdk, or how many to look for. Having installed Acceleration might be causing this problem? Would it be best to delete SbuilderX and install a fresh copy? I just downloaded one just in case.
Please adress any procedure above if I missed a step somewhere. Thank you, Bob
