>> It seems like my old thread had died because the people helping me are now offline and no one else is repsponding so I am just gonna start this new post.

This is a bad idea. I think it is against the rules, and regardless it leaves people with no idea what previous advice has been given. You end up getting confusing and conflicting advice from all over the place. If I understand your situation correctly, neither of the posts in this thread will help you, but they might have been able to help better if they had seen your other 3 threads on this subject.

BTW, I am in the middle of replying to the first thread in that list, so look there for some further hints.
