Default Cranberry wine not fermenting....help!!!

Hello.

I began a cranberry wine using whole frozen berries, post thanksgiving
stock sale!

Anyway, I used a lavlin KV yeast to pitch, but...no go.
Then after a several days, I used Pasteur Champagne yeast...but still
no go,
even after I aerated the batch and also placed it in a tub of hot water
to get its temperature up and encourage those wee beasties to
reproduce., but still no go.

I hesitate to simply throw in another packet of yeast. But I hesitate
to throw the batch away.
Any suggestions? I only have a packet of lavlin ec yeast and a packet
of Pasteur Red or Flor Sherry left. Unfortunately, I live 45 miles
away from the closest winemaking shop...
any help would be appreciated! thanks.
