Setup Help Wanted. (Desperately)

Hi,
My controller handset has gone flaky (And no longer available in Australia) and I was told that if I plugged my hardware into a computer, I could run the thing from there.
I downloaded all the software I was advised to and bought the cables as well and now have hit a brick wall where the You Tube videos don't look like what my screen looks like.
I don't do astro photography as such, I try to do astro outreach to kids, and really need to get this thing working this week now that school holidays are over.

I am happy to pay for the help (as it will necessarily be on site) or donate to a charity, whatever is fine with you. My observatory is in Closeburn, just north of Samford, Brisbane.

I have a Windows PC with the following software loaded
Cartes de Ciel
EQMod -ASCOM PAD
PHD Guiding 2
Sharp Cap 4
Stellarium
Astrophotography APT
All Sky Plate Solver
ASCOM
Platesolver2

The astro equipment is
910mm refractor
AZ-EQ6 GT Mount
Orion Guide Scope
IMAGINGSOURCE Camera
Cables to connect to the USB ports on the PC and the mount port

Can you help?
