The strange thing being my son's installation didn't need any of this & it worked until I loaded my wallet on his machine, I just can't understand what is going on.
Well without the armorylogs.txt and armorydb.txt we don't know exactly what happen to your wallet that is why we can't give you the right solution for your problem.
Sharing what inside from armorylogs.txt is safe to post here just make sure to use insert code tag before you post the whole armory logs.
