Thanks everyone, my screen size changes depending on what kind of photos I am taking. Sounds weird I know but it works for me. I change the screen size for in world image cropping for my photos. I do nearly no RL editing I try to do it all with SL tools and that means sometimes changing the screen size to my needs at the moment. That might be how I got my Render Glow messed up since I was also tweaking other things to see the effect like shadow quality and w/l transition time.
Whirly I will look at the Render Glow again and see how your suggestions impact my viewer. Thank you all for the suggestions, I was feeling terribly lost and concerned about possibly having to give up Firestorm. The upside is that I learn from the comments.
