so after a few days i decided to give it a try again lol. i did reinstall just in case and i also checked the DEP settings and it has changed since the day i first did this with your help. i was actually able to play by using always off in the command prompt so ill just have to remember to switch for when i want to play and when i finish. as for the settings now its always greyed out and i cant add just the pso file for an exempt no matter how many times i turn it back to always on. so long story short i dont know what changed but i guess that work around does work for the time being!
