Have you tried posting for help at on the MameWAH board here:

I have not seen and posts from you asking for help. Most people there are willing to answer questions to help new people.

GameEX and Ultrastyle are very easy to configure as the setups walk you through setting it up.

MAMEWAH is a great FE, I use it on a number of machines, but it can be difficult to configure multiple skins if you've never done it before. The MAMEWAH FAQ's are also excellent. CrazyCooter has also done a great job of writing a sort of tutorial which is posted on this board. If you don't get a timely response, search this board for posts by crazycooter.

Hope this helps,

Read the FAQ stickied at the MameWorld board - there is a link to Crazy Cooters guide Gozur mentioned, and also some links to some helpful stuff from JCrouse.
