I think this thread is getting out of hand. The question owner (stevestarr13) marked a reply as the solution 4 months ago, and since then others have been injecting their own issues. In those cases, I think it's best to start your own thread, where the volunteers here can see details about your setup (like what OS you're using). To prevent others from hijacking this thread, I'm going to lock it.
