Yes! Finally cleaned the house and I am ready to start programming.
Downloaded the XNA Platformer 4.0 base from http://xbox.create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/sample/platformer
Also, got the level editor from https://bitbucket.org/FinalMirage/xna-platformer-level-editor/wiki/Home

Thanks a lot for these valuable things. I can now concentrate on doing my own thing and getting things to roll on!
