I ended up taking the advice of HBFATBOYDOC and restoring to an earlier date, and that solved the problem. I then uninstalled & reinstalled an earlier version of the software and upgraded to the beta version. I skipped over version 3.0.8.6 though, just in case that was the problem. Everything works as it did before now. I do have another question now, but I'll start another thread. Thanks alot for all the suggestions and help! (if you have time, look for the new question)
