Thanks for the info, I have been doing some troubleshooting and realize that perhaps the original template doesn't work with the new version of ZC. I've now got parts of my main page showing again but not properly aligned/ improperly spaced/ content missing. So dropping the original database after I create a fresh install, will this again refer to some of my original modules thereby messing up my fresh layout again? I am going through the site with directory comparison and winmerge to see what kind of a task this will be, but a fresh install with the old database sounds ideal...
