Dutch, that sort of thing is enough to drive you crazy with frustration, isn't it?
The only thing I can suggest is to go back to a save and work your way forward again, following the walkthrough exactly. I don't know how far back you would have to go--it's possible that you missed some little action a ways back, but I hope that you can get through this. It's one thing to quit a game because you don't like it, but another thing (and
really irritating), to have to quit because things just won't work right...
