So I got tired of waiting since I don't like having my coins sitting on a website for so long, I went ahead and downloaded the wallet on my laptop to see what would happen. Well, it worked.  Started syncing in probably less than 5 minutes. Hopefully I can just copy that wallet and the other folders and it will work on my PC. I was gonna try using a virtual machine, but I didn't feel like canceling mining and restarting my PC lol. Thanks for all the help though, maybe its just a Windows 8 problem. I like Windows 8 though
