Ok, I downloaded the new version of VB and renamed the config.php.new file to config.php. Went to open it with notepad and all the info is there but it is not formated in a readable way. It's like a giant run-on sentance. When I open the config.php file I am currently using in my 3.6.4 board, it's perfectly readable and formated. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

You could try to use this: http://www.vbulletin-fans.com/config/index.php?do=install

Well, that did the trick. Still don't know why the one that came with the download did not work. I even re-downloaded it and it still came out scrambled. Oh well, thanks.

Sounds like you were using an editor (notepad) that doesn't deal with unix-style line breaks. Wordpad probably would have worked.

Right, Notepad don't like this type of line breaks. :)

To edit the config.php file, you will need to open the file in a text editor such as Windows® WordPad. (Note that we do not recommend that you use Windows® Notepad to edit config.php, as Notepad has problems displaying the line breaks in some file types.)
