Okay... ^^;
though I'm not so sure about posting, since I'm shy.. Heck, I was even hesitant about posting here for help. ^^;
side note:
I think the problem may be that when I went to edit the emote.cfg file, I followed someone's tutorial and right-clicked it, then changed what it opens up with from "Windows Shell Commor" (or at least, that's what it's as on one of my friend's computer) to "Wordpad."
Me and my friend have been discussing it, so that plus what you guys suggested and how they don't work made me have a feeling it may be that.
