I found the Texmacs appdata folder in "c:\users\myusername\appdata\roaming\texmacs". I deleted all the files and folders there, reinstalled TeXMacs and low and behold I am back up and running. Thank you so much for your help.

the default file name that comes up is "Noname [7]" not "Noname [1]", so I have to be missing something. 

Indeed. This means that .TeXmacs/texts/scratch is not empty. Try searching for no_name_6.tm. The file *has* to be somewhere! According to this code in init_main_paths():

get_env_path ("TEXMACS_HOME_PATH", get_env ("APPDATA") * "/TeXmacs"))

the files should be wherever that appdata is. Try opening Explorer and typing %appdata%.

If you find the folder, please save and send its contents to us for testing.

Best,
