I need help... badly

I posted this on the Members forum, but i figured the people on this forum probably have a lot more direct experience with the problems i'm having....

I'll start from the beginning.

I saw Virtual Tours as a great business opportunity where i live... real estate is going crazy, and none of the real estate agencies had any virtual tours.

So, using the camera/tripod i already owned, i took a few panoramic shots of my living room, and stitched them together. It worked, so I started thinking about actually making it a business.

After my first client, i realized that QTVR was not going to work , since she did not have the plugin on her computer, and most people browsing for houses don't have quicktime. So i bought a program that converts the panorama's into Java and Flash (VR Brochure - $299). I completed her tour and joined picturepath, so i could post to realtor.com etc. and she seemed happy enough. Now more than ever i saw this as a viable business.

2 months later, no one else was biting at my prices I had set. Finally, we persisted enough and got 3 seperate clients at once.

Now, i've shot all 4 houses, and i know that my camera is not built for the job i'm putting it to, and the tripod is normal(no panoramic attachment), but i figured i could get started with the equipment i had, and buy the panoramic attachment and a better camera once i had a little extra money put aside.

I seem to have gotten myself in over my head, and I think I'm stuck. I have tons of folders of pictures, and they just aren't lining up perfectly, which i blame on the lack of a panoramic tripod. but i can fix that with a little photoshop wizardry.

The main problem i'm having is the virtual tours just aren't coming together. I have no idea the best way to go about putting a virtual tour i've made into my client's website, whether java is the best way to go about it, and if i wasted $300 buying this virtual tour software that seems incredibly buggy. I've experimented with ptviewer but it did not seem to work for me, then i find out that it DOES work, just not on my computer so well.

Me and my girlfriend have recently run into a rough patch, partially based on the lack of success with these virtual tours, and now, the completion of these tours needs to pay rent... however, i dont want to put out a product that looks like crap, and i can't afford to buy any new equipment. I've missed the 30 day refund policy of VRBrochure, so i think i'm stuck with it, buggy or not. We made the mistake of doing the tour before getting paid, primarily because I was not confident in my skills because i had never done it before, so i didnt want them to have paid me and still fail.

At this point, I wish i could just give up, but i dont feel like getting evicted from my house.

Does anyone who reads this board have any advice for me? i know that i've gotten myself in over my head, but i have to be able to save this.

Thanks for reading my cry for help, if you have any advice, i'd love any i can get... emails can be sent to mgardiner@boone-tours.com or tahoma.local@gmail.com thanks.
