ssleay32.dll was loaded, but the DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered.

^ Said that when I typed both of those .dll statements.

Didn't help.

Hmm....that doesn't sound good. And it MAY be the cause of your problems. I'm pretty freakin' sure that ssleay32.dll is the DLL file that controls the secure socket layer connection between the software and the servers - if it's not registered that would probably explain why you're not able to connect.

When you uninstalled the software previously did you go into the directory and verify that the files were deleted from there? Here's my next suggestion:
Uninstall the FT software once again (yeah, I know, for about the gazillionth time) and go in and make sure everything is deleted out of there.
Reinstall FT into a different directory - maybe add a '2' or something to the end. I'm pretty sure that changing installation location will force Windows to reregister all DLL files for this program.

EDIT (to add): if this DOES work, don't forget to change the install location inside PT and PAHUD (or any other program that looks at the FT directory).

what is the keystroke on laptops from start up to do this? I used to know it, its like F-something right? I got a nasty virus and dont want to spend money on spyware removal and I have nothing I need to save on my labtop.

Pshabi, this sucks man. I wish I could add something to help you but I have not clue but reading all this is very interesting. not that part about you not getting on but the posts by RR.

You're running an HP/Compaq notebook if I remember correctly. You should be wanting to tap F10 from power-up to bootup into the recovery partition. Once in there I recommend choosing the advanced option and doing the 'full destructive recovery' - that way it formats c: partition. Also, if you haven't already, after you do the recovery make sure you that make your recovery discs for your computer. I believe you'll find the option under start-programs-hp tool-recovery disc creator or somewhere along those lines.

If you do this make sure you have a really good backup of all of your data first - this will wipe everything out.
