If any other user has any ideas please still reply. If I ever get this working I will post the solution here. Until then I guess I will have to use some other service that works until the support can get back to me with a working solution.

I'm having this exact same problem on my new computer and have gone through most of what you have. Thanks for posting your solution, I will do the same thing and see how it goes. t would be good if we knew the "why" of this problem.
