Oh no! Sorry to hear this has been the source of all your woe. I've been following your threads trying to figure out what we screwed up, so I'm at least glad to see Fantastico may have been the culprit. For what it's worth, I think it's recommended to never install Drupal from Fantastico... primarily because (at least in the past) they weren't staying current with the latest releases of whatever Drupal version it has. This means security fixes could be missing through Fantastico.
