After couple of hours of working on the issue , seeing that the setup of the tabs was changed, the one sequence that I finally got working was changed, I deleted xlights , and the folders connected to it. I reloaded xlights to a new folder, reentered the setup and layout tabs. I'm glad I had paper notes to help me along. Now I just need to redo all my sequences. Then test it all to make sure its OK. I'm glad I do not do musical sequences.
