THe problem is when I get to the About box, once I click out of it, it won't let me press the "X" or the Close buttons on the normal window. What is the problem.

Replace #NoTrayIcon with Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1), and you'll see that you never return from the "AboutBox" function!

Replace the calls to GuiDelete($createbout) with Return GuiDelete($createbout)

Thanks once again.
