Bread-Bakers v097.n041.10

I've been experimenting with my Black & Decker
bread machine and I've yet to be satisfied 
with the results because almost everything I
try smells 'yeasty' and has a strong 'yeasty'
flavour--I'm following all the directions to
the letter but I can't seem to produce an
edible loaf of bread.  I've even used the
'dough' cycle and tried backing the result
in the conventional oven with no luck.

Any ideas, comments, suggestions, advice, etc.,
would be most welcome.
