fresh install, pricing doesnt work!! help!

[Sel_888]

wow... even tried creating a whole new category called testing just to see if that would make a difference, and even when I try to add a product there, with a simple price of 3.59, it still comes back showing a ZERO.

but here's the extra kick-in-the-head-with-a-steel-toed-boot... if I go into price manager and bring that product up, it will SHOW the price to be edited, .... HUH???

Upon further research, i see that "my store">store status is set to 0 = normal store. Should i need to change that to 2 = showcase with prices?

No "0" is correct, Maybe another setting you are missing,
store address?
or screenshot of the settings used?

not sure that the store address is really a factor in my pricing problems. I am not applying any taxes on it. I am planning on making my one or two items a downloadable product, but I cannot even get that far yet since I cannot even apply a pricing to the original product add page.
I am locating the store virtually in mexico, but that shouldn't be the issue...

We might be able to spot something with a link to the site.

I dont have it available to show yet (or more like I don't want to show it yet...) ... it still has all the fresh install wording in it, like what templates to alter etc.

I literally have a demo product that I am using for testing purposes (a small MP3) of which I am going to set up as a downloadable product (via re-direct), but I haven't even got as far as setting attributes yet since I cannot even initially set a price. i don't want to go the next step of setting up attributes until I get this stupid price thing resolved.

if you MUST see, though I do not understand how this would help you at all, but it's http://www.ramblingroynolan.com/sales
and i have two identical products (both for testing, one was with a bit of attributes played with, the second was just straight up clean add of product... and it STILL will not show the price... still just has a 0 (Zero) for it's price.

OK!!!!.... here's another REAL KICKER!
I went and got the book for zen-cart... and here I am going through the process on creating a new product, etc. and there was one different configuration that I was not choosing, of which making it a TAXABLE GOOD, and even giving it a ship weight (hey, for testing purposes)...
with a price of 200.00....

....

And it STILL shows as ZERO for it's price in the preview!!!!

WTF!!???!!!
I am really starting to think that this software is full of and it really is a very bad program if one cannot even simply get even a vitual test product up.!!!!
