I have some more things to ask you though:

1. so would this still occur if you copy pasted all of the iam files and its corresponding iam and ipt files and then when you opened up the iam and clicked on all of the corresponding files when it asks you for them.

2. Would this also happen if you were using a non-autodesk file (for example if you are importing an .STP file from andymark)Because whenever I place one of those in an assembly it says that Autodesk can't use this type of file but lets me place it anyway, but these files are the ones that get messed up the most.

As for a shared folder, we have tried to get one on the school network which is unsuccessful, but it is difficult to work with any of those computers as they only have either 1.5 or 2 gigabytes of ram and really terrible GPUs. So, I pretty much have been forced to work on most of them at home and transferring them (with a great deal of failure).
1. shouldn't be an issue
2. STP files shouldn't have a problem

What method did you use to download Inventor? CD (not chief delphi )? off the website? Also are there any files you have issues downloading that are generic like mecanum wheels or toughbox nanos? because my CAD has those and i could post the inventor files for those on here.
Good luck dude, I understand your pain w/ Inventor. But when you get it all figured out, it's one of the best programs out there. The stress tests and whatnot can prove to be very helpful
