I figured FC would take care of it just like windows does and there'd be no problem. I'm not so sure it did, a file may have gotten corrupted somewhere. Anyway, I am on version 6 and have been meaning to upgrade but I didn't have the time but rather than spend any more time on this I am going to do a fresh install of FC9. I'm sure that will take care of it.
