Ok, so I created a bitcoin.conf file and placed in C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\ and restarted bitcoin-qt. Even though there were settings changes in the bitcoin.conf file compared to what I had already set in the gui, those changes weren't set when I restarted the client. For example, the .conf file said minimize to system tray false, but the gui still said true which I had already set there. So I don't think bitcoin-qt is even looking for a conf file. Maybe that's from an old version, or something only bitcoind uses? Anyway, it didn't help. I still have 8 active connections, but "No block source available".
As for the other potential solution, running bitcoin-qt.exe /? at the Windows command line just tries to launch the bitcoin-qt client again. it didn't provide a help screen. In the client, I opened the console and typed "help" but there are no "upgrade" or "update" commands like what you suggested, or anything that even sounds like it might be the same. Also, I was skeptical anyway because I'm not trying to import a wallet or a database from another client. This is a brand new install, brand new wallet, and I am a first time bitcoin user. Or at least, I would like to be a first time bitcoin user.
Thanks anyway for trying. Any more ideas?
This is what my logs look like if it helps:
