I'm so sorry I haven't been around, but this being an unpaid open source script I've had to put off most of my support until the weekends (I have a day job).
Windows servers DO scare people off, me included!
First off, it sounds like the emails are working now, yes? Here's the rub: the built-in PHP mail() function that Form Tools uses by default is AWFUL. Any PHP programmer who's worked in multiple environments knows it. The email functionality within Form Tools requires a lot out of the function: and oftentimes it just can't handle it. That's why I bundle the Swift Mailer module with the core build - it's a far better, consistent and more reliable solution.
For the File upload problem, I must say that does sound puzzling. So you haven't overridden the default settings (which work) for that particular file upload field? It sounds like maybe that's the case... To check, just go to Edit Form -> Fields -> "Options" link for the file upload field and remove any custom file upload folder settings.
If it hasn't been overridden but just doesn't work, then this is a new bug I haven't seen before. If you like, email me at ben.keen@gmail.com with your FTP & FT login information and I could take a look to see what's going on. Oh - and link to this post, because I know I'll lose track...

Hey Ben ... I know that you are busy and I also appreciate that this is an unpaid script so no worries. Just that, in the heat of the project ... everyone gets a bit testy .... especially when we are using $#$%^^&&* Windows servers!!!
I finally gave up and moved the form management to a Linux box and everything was up and running in no time.
If I run into further problems, if you are OK with it, I will be back in touch ... Yeah Linux .... Booo Windows!!!
Cheers
Dave
