The error message is looking for joomfish, if you dont have it installes as you said it says i cannot find it...your k2 should be ok.

As Kannan said look at the Components menu there should be a k2 item on it just like the rest of the components you install

 

Ok, I'm not being disrespectful but for the THIRD TIME it is NOT there. Any ideas? Anyone?

Thats ok. Back up the site first and reinstall k2 over the top.

So you're saying wipe the site, reinstall joomla, then reinstall K2? Wow. I suppose that's the last resort. I was hoping for something better than that.

No, do not wipe the site, just back it up and reisntall k2 over the top.
