how much should 4 replacement basement "hopper" windows cost installed?

DIY Replacement windows? My husband and I bought an older house (1930?) and it's got the most awful windows you can imagine. When we bought it, the basement bedroom windows were painted and nailed shut and covered with plastic. For fire safety, we had someone "fix" the windows, but essentially what he did was sand them down to the point where you can see daylight around the edges. The work was free to us (gift from our realtor) so I couldn't do much about it. Anyway, I can't afford to have professionals come in and install all new windows in the house. I'd like to, before winter, at least get the basement bedroom windows replaced so my kids, my husband and I don't freeze to death. Where can I find REALLY good, visual, step-by-step information (book form or online would be great) to buying windows from Home Depot or Lowes and installing them myself? Thanks! RE: expanding foam - I don't want the windows to be inoperable.

too much house humidity? I have brick house/ I installed new aluminum double glass (no argon) double pane windows, since my wooden single glass windows were getting humidity and water condensation in the winter time. Heat was set at 69 deg and was very warm in the house. Somehow moisture of the air is 20 % higher then my neighbors wooden frame house. I have no insulation in walls since it is only 3/4" spacing between brick and interio walls, made of plaster on top of wooden lattice. There is no insulation behind wooden molding on inside, as far as I know. New windows were only inserted as replacement and capped outside. ther is no moisture beteen panes, only on the glass from inside the house. Futher I installed bathroom fan as well as roofing fan. I did find out that there are no sofit holes but a solid wood, so there are no sofit holes. I do have air vents on the roof. I have a gas furnace. IF you have solution please explain so that I may understand. Can I spray foam in the basement at 3/4" spacing?
