Ok so I think I figured out what went wrong. When I first started playing KSP, I played it directly from my Downloads folder. When I downloaded the mod I realized that I was playing KSP from the downloads folder, so I copied the whole folder and pasted it into my program files folder and continued playing from there but the engineer mod did not work. I was a little frustrated but I decided I didn't need the engineering mod currently and continued playing KSP from the copied version in the program files folder. I copied the folder 2/24/2014. When I looked at the KSP_Data\output_log.txt I thought that the file would show the last update as the current date. It wasn't, it was from Feburary 24 2014. meaning its not updating since I copied KSP to my Program files folder. So I tested a theory, I went back and copied the engineering folder to the original KSP in my downloads folder and opened it and researched the engineering parts and attached the parts to a rocket. DING DING DING!! It worked, window popped up with all the info. When I changed my shortcut for the KSP Launcher, a window from my computer popped up asking if I wanted to allow KSP to change files on my computer. I clicked yes but because all of the files in my Program Files KSP did not update, it reverted back to where I was February 24. The good news is that the engineer mod now works on my Program files KSP. BTW my computer is a Toshiba Satellite P55-A5312 6 GB of RAM intel inside core i5 1.6 GHz Processor 64 bit OS Windows 8.1
