Try page 39 of your manual. It's actually a decent explanation.

We'll just assume that you lost your manual, my friend. It would be very disappointing to find out you're playing a pirated copy of the game.

1) You need a charged soul gem. (the stronger the soul, the stronger the enchantment you can create)
2) You need an item to enchant. (higher quality items hold stronger enchantments)
3) You need to be able to cast a spell effect to use it in an enchantment. (For example, to create a levitation enchantment, you need to know some type of levitation spell although it doesn't have to be exactly the same)
4) Go to your inventory and equip the soul gem just like you would a weapon. This will bring up the enchant item screen. From there, it's pretty simple.
5) Your chance of success is based on your enchant skill. Your intelligence stat also affects it.

Even with a maxxed enchant skill, you will fail much of the time. It's much better to pay someone to do the enchanting for you (select "enchant" from their conversation tree once you have the three "ingredients" above).

It came with the graphics card, Nivida Geforce 4.

What do you mean with charged and does the gem vanish if the try failed.

A "charged" soul gem has a soul trapped in it (the item description will tell you what soul is trapped if there is one). In this case, "charged" is the opposite of "empty".

If you fail your enchant attempt, the soul gem is destroyed.

You're not bothering me at all. I'm not a MW guru like cfmdobbie, but I'm always happy to help when I can.

There aren't "types" of enchanting. It's about creating magic items and nothing else (although the enchant skill is used in a couple other places). Any spell in the game can be put into an item so that you can use the item's magic instead of casting the spell yourself.

To charge a soul gem:
1) you need an empty soul gem in your inventory (note that different types of soul gems can hold different strengths of souls)
2) successfully cast the mysticism spell "soul trap" on a monster
3) kill that monster before the spell wears off
4) you'll get a message saying "you've trapped a soul" and the gem will now show the monster's name if you look at it in your inventory.

For this subject, having Mysticism as a misc skill means that you'll fail often when casting the spell, nothing more.

You can find someone to sell you the spell (so you can cast it, not scrolls) at most Mage Guilds and Temples. Using scrolls to soul trap would be very inefficient.

You can only capture monster souls.

Yes, spells and scrolls are very different.

"Spells" are magic effects your character knows how to cast - they appear in the Spells section of your magic menu, and will use up magicka. However, they might not succeed if your skill isn't high enough.

"Scrolls" are magical items that can produce a certain effect - they appear in the Items section of your magic menu, and do not take magicka to cast. However, they are destroyed on use! But they are guaranteed to succeed.

A bound weapon is a magically conjured weapon. It's very powerful and very strong, but it only exists for the duration of the spell.

If you sucessfully cast Bound Dagger, your current weapon will be sheathed, and a shimmering black-and-red dagger will appear in your hands. The Bound Dagger also gives a temporary bonus to Short Blade, I believe. You use the dagger as a normal weapon, and when the spell runs out, the dagger disappears and your previous weapon is returned to your hands.
