Hello All
Well first off I just wanted to thank everyone who offered help. I finally have fixed my problem. I posted to several threads, so I have summarized them below with links. So if you are having similar problems you can read about my experience below. I have tried to give detailed accounts. So hopefully there is enough information that you can fix it a lot easier than it was for me.
Take Care

Armed with new information I made several posts about the debugging process:

Once the problem was identified I used this thread to discuss what I did to resolve the problem:
