I have tried everything and the only thing I can get to work or sync to blockchain to was to uncheck auto bitciond and open Armory and then Bitcoin core but it says connected at the left bottom but its purple not green and it only syncs up to the blockchain from when I open Armory I don't know if I'm going to be able to send and received coins. I have had Armory and love the security and don't want to find another desktop bitcoin wallet app but if I can't figure this out I guess I will which sucks because I used it for years. And the viable I got from gotpigs message was out me basically because I don't know code but I know good bit and enough to figure out stubborn apps or computer problems but this I raise the White Flag and it sucks when I can't figure things out.

You could help yourself out here by following HCP's instructions to create a bitcoin.conf in the right location with the config options he suggested.

Unless something very strange is going on, that should get you to a green connected state that will update as new blocks are mined on the network.
