I can't seem to adjust elevation or windage
For basic instructions on how to use and get familliar with a scope go to
Www.ShooterReady.com
They provide a fairly easy guide to follow but you should make sure to take these steps
1) First take the training there is, lol then re take it as its alot of information
2) the first range you go to should be A (there are standard environmental conditions here, which is
what your range card is based on so no environmental data to worry about :) other than wind and range)
This is a good software to obtain howerver you do it (i know it is dl'able but thats dangerous now adays and you shouldnt download games or software this is "cracked" (where the anti piracy part of the software has be removed) because the people who are loosing money to this have a "mis information campaign" going on. What this means is the people who write software or sell a product now adays have started distributing for free their software, but in it is some mean virus'. Although this is illegal, it isnt in the country its set up in and you cant complain you stole a program. :S so it is best to just buy things now adays.
another invaluable tool as a shooter is an exterior ballistics software. These programs are quick and easy to use once your familiar with them and accurate to within 2" over 1800 yards :) (more often your shot will be off because you read the wind wrong)
even if you dont want to "use a computer" to shoot. this software in 2 mins will setup your Range card for the day (as it varies with humidity temperature barometric pressure and elevation from sea level) this means that instead of modifying your 1 range card @ standard atmoshperic conditions with complicated math (taht adds to the error factor) each shot and each day you only have to set up the program with values and it prints a range card w set increments (if you drag your lap top or mini laptop or w/e to the field or range you can use it each shot setting the range as the increment gives EXACT VALUES for the shot litterally ask the computer how to shoot and it will tell you.
Another popular and highly innovative product is the iPhone! it has an app that can be downloaded onto it for like 15$ that is a ballistics software. then, with some precision engineered mounts, its side mounted on the gun and even displays the rifles angle of elevation or depression as you aim!
anymore questions let me know
OK try this

Good Luck
1. Insert the Bore Stud into the Stanchion while aligning the arrows as shows. Insert the assembled scope guide into the muzzle of your rifle with the grid pattern upright.
2. Select the Aperture Cap that fits your objective rim. Place it over the objective end of your rifle scope and press until it fits flatly against the rim.
3. Using the Adjustable Scale measure the top of your rifle scope tube to the center of the rifle bore as follows: Open the rifle breach. Rest the upper arm of the scale on the scope tube before or behind the windage and elevation turrets. The scale markings should be facing towards you reading vertically and ascending from bottom to top. Slide the lower end of the scale up or down until it is touching the center point of the bore. On center fire rifles the center point will be the firing pin. On rimfire models the center will be the shell extractor. Read the number that corresponds to the indicator marked "CF". Make a note of the reading.
4. Aim the rifle toward a light, flatly lit area such as a wall or open sky. Caution: Do Not Look At The Sun As Permanent Eye Injury Could Result.
5. While keeping the riflescope at the right distance to see the full field of view, sight through it on the grid pattern. Move the stanchion right or left until the bold centerline is parallel to the vertical reticule wire. Turn the windage dial right or left until the vertical reticule is aligned with the grid centerline.
6. Use the reading from the scale to align the horizontal reticule wire. Find the numbered horizontal grid line that corresponds to the number on the scale. Turn the elevation dial right or left until the horizontal reticule wire aligns with this corresponding grid line.
7. To make your final zeroing adjustments remove the scope guide from the bore of your rifle.
WARNING: FIREING YOUR RIFLE WITHOUT REMOVING THE SCOPE GUIDE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR RIFLE AND OR CAUSE YOU INJURY
At a range or other safe area test fire a group of three rounds of the same type ammunition at a target at least 50 yards away. Refine your scope alignment by adjusting the windage and elevation dials. Move to your desired distance from the target and test fire another group and make your final windage and elevation adjustments.
8. Restore the stud tension by pressing the end of the spring.

Usually answered in minutes!
Your going to need to be more specific. why cannot you adjust for elevation or windage?
cant seem to adjust correctly? cant adjust the scopes windage or elevation knobs at all? (physically?)
cant adjust that far on your scope (ie ran out of minutes of angle??) please clarify
