No one including me said to remove a diode. Look at your own drawing in post #13. Take out C1 and the connection(Not the diode) from the bottom of D2, the connection to ground (negative) at the bottom of D2. The connection is shorting pin#5 directly to negative, making D2 useless.Ok. Let me see by removing the diode. Dont get angry. I am new to this field. I always welcome all the replies and suggestion all you made. Will take care of this. Thank you
