So I figured I would let you know what I did to solve this in case anyone else had the same problem. I just reinstalled everything. It works now.

No I am using the newest version of both MO and xEdit. Also I have all my steam/skyrim stuff and any mods on a separate drive than Program files. I was having issues with my skyrim install after i had to replace my video card, so the only plugins i have loaded with MO at the moment are the vanilla ESM's and ESP's so I don't think it's from any mod conflicts. Thank you for replying.

TES5Edit is not giving me the Save window after I clean Update.esm, or any .esm/.esp. Everything works fine until I close TES5Edit, where there is supposed to be the option to save. I do not get the option to save the cleaned Update, the program just terminates and I am back in MO with LOOT complaining the esm is still dirty. I have tried pressing Control-S as TES5Edit's documentation suggested you could force the Save window to appear but no luck. I suspect I have a very large hole in my understanding of the way MO handles ...well, everything :-( I saw that this issue has come up before but the OP somehow just fixed it and didn't say how.
