I am starting to think there is more than one copy of this file floating around.  So, I am curious if I could have someone send me their 
working copy to me so I can try it. 
Perhaps this is chasing a wild goose, but hey...nothing else has worked.  Always get 'cant connect to patch server'.
Anyways, send to 
jtuma007@charter.net (yeah, yeah, dont bother sending virus) if you would do me the favor.
If its too big for e-mail (I dont remember size limits) I can open an accout on my FTP site to upload it.
Thanks to whomever helps =)
