I actually ran a new zc_install and then updated files by establishing file size differences with the DIFF option in FireFTP for FireFox. When I did that I made sure that I didn't overwrite includes/configure.php or admin/includes/configure.php. since they exited as the result of the zc_install. Something else which was transferred outside of configure.php files made the admin lose control over ON/OFF type settings.
The directive settings still work anytime I input a string for width or height, but the boolean functions are not having any effect.
Everything else seems ok too.

I'm still working on it so some of the drop down links and image links have not been linked yet.
Thanks for the input. Hope this makes the issue more clear.
