No idea why you would have extra coins on your wallet. Maybe those transactions that never hit the blockchain disappeared from your client and you got your coins back?
It's hard to pin point the problem without knowing exactly all that happened.
I've been using Bitcoin for over a year now, still using my original wallet.dat, which have thousands of addresses in it and also made thousands of transactions and never faced a similar problem.

I have not tried that, not exactly sure how to do that, i'm going to take screen shots of all my dead tx's, uninstall, and re-install the wallet, and try again, I think the last time i did that it had to re-sync anyway so I assume it is more or less the same thing. It will probably take a few hours to re-load so ill let you know what happens after that. Thanks again so much for your time and help, ive been playing with btc for a while but ive never had a problem like this.
any guess as to why I had a bunch of extra coins in the wallet when I opened it the second time? (before all the txing)

The wallet.dat file, that's the only file that matters.
After using it, do you copy it back to the encrypted drive or do you just delete it?
What I mean is, the wallet.dat that is on your encrypted folder is a new one that you copy there after every use or is still the original one that you put there the first time?
Ok, you answered above.
If that's what happened then the 100 addresses buffer would be sufficient to keep your coins there.
Have you tried running Bitcoin with the rescan option to see if you get your coins back?
however, there MAY have been 1 time before all this crazyness started that i trashed the .dat file instead of re-copying it, but that was only after the first tx that didn't go through. as for the rest of them, i re-copied the .dat file from the system folder -> the encrypted drive every time,
thanks for the reply! no, i keep the wallet files where they are normally downloaded onto my computer, its just the wallet.dat file that i move and encrypt
You say you keep your wallet on an encrypted drive/folder and delete it after every use.
Now for the dumb question: Did you backup the wallet back to the encrypted folder after every use, before deleting it?

and yes my wallet is the newest up to date version, its the one you get from "bitcoin"
ill keep this short and to the point, thanks for any and all help.
I store my wallet.dat file in an encrypted drive away from my wallet program, and delete the wallet.dat file from the bitcoin folder after every use. I loaded up yesterday, sent a tx, it was deducted from my wallet, but no confirmations, no record of the tx on blockchain.info, and no credit for it on the other end. Closed the wallet, resynced, re-opened, and now I have more coins in the wallet than I did before. Made several more attempts to send coins out, some of the tx's went through, some didnt (didnt as in, they were deducted from my wallet but no credit for them on the other end, and no recored on blockchain), but they were ALL deducted from my wallet. I ended up breaking up the tx's and sending several smaller ones until my wallet was empty. After all the txing, for which I payed fees on most of them, including the ones with "no record", i am down quite a few coins.
I have all the info for the tx's that were deducted, but not credited, and I cant for the life of me figure out whats going on. pls pls pls help, I really appreciate your time.
