I uninstalled previous version, cleared application data folder (running XP) and installed 0.7.6 via installer. Last night, it worked just fine. Today...every time I try to enter an online game, I get one of the following messages: "Invalid Game Folder", "404 http error" or "Server set for low pings only". Mind you, I'm running 5megs down and 1 up on cable so I'm not lagging here, and this is a clean install of the new version. Suggestions?

Probably servers not updated.

invalid game folder can also be caused by quake 3 servers on the list. ive run into a few, and i have no idea why people running q3 would be setting the OA master as their master server.
404 http error sounds like the server is using a nonexistant or broken url for the http downloading link.
as for the "low pings only" i get that too with 6Mbit down/512Kbit up sometimes, but only on some foreign servers that have a really low maxping setting.
the errors alone dont necessarily mean they havent updated yet, but could be part of it.

well the new shrub 7.6 is up and it uses 0.7.6 and it tries out the new gametypes which are a whole lot of fun

I also am getting "invalid game folder".  I'm on mac, I've deleted my old OA and installed the new one.  I can play single player offline just fine... all the new mods and maps work.  But when I connect to a server it says "invalid game folder".  Then if I try to connect again the game crashes...  Does this mean the other servers are not updated yet?  any ideas? 

pretty much what you just said, the servers that give the error havent updated yet. there are multiple threads now discussing this and other problems.
