    I am posting a reply to my own note. This error was my own fault. Let me
    explain.

    I went to make a SINGLE file hidden and read only with the attributes, and
    didn't realize that the folder OWNER was also highlighted. In this process it
    made all of the important files for the programs non-accessable, and writable
    to. Therefore, they were not able to be used in the messenger, or the other
    programs that were not working properly.

    So I changed the attributes to the folder OWNER, and everthing is woking fine.
