The only thing that a 3-way switch adds to the equation is two extra wires called travelers. They simply go from one wall switch to the other and have nothing to do with connecting the fan. That's what the two red wires in your ceiling box likely are. Modern ceiling fans have three wires -- hot, neutral, and ground. If the fan has a light or a light kit can be added they will have a second hot wire (often black-white but it can be another color such as blue) so that the fan motor can be switched (from the wall) independently from the light. If you're only going to use just one wall switch, then the two hot wires of the fan (black and black-white) are connected to the hot wire serving the fan. Then you'd just control the fan speed and light from the fan's pull chains. So in your case you'd connect black and black-white wires of the fan to the black wire (hot) in the ceiling box, then white to white (neutral), and ground to ground. It's possible the fan is defective or when you connected the black-white wire to the neutral you damaged the circuity. Make up one connection at a time and see if you can fan motor and light to work independently. Make sure your connections are tight, sometimes in can be hard to get the stranded wire of the fan to twist well with the solid wire of the building.

Sorry, this seems rather confused. What is a "blue green combo"? "It had a white wire a green wire and a ground" also can't be right; the green wire IS the ground. Green is always ground. White is always neutral (except as below). Other colors, including blue, are hot. Ground and neutral are never connected together except at the main disconnect. Hot and neutral are never connected together. Hot and ground are never connected together. The only times when white can be hot, and may be connected to black, are when wiring a switchloop, or when using cable assemblies for wiring 240 volt circuits. In these cases the white conductor should be re-marked as black, red, or other non-green, non-white color, to avoid confusion. I don't think either of these applies here. If you actually have red connected to green, you've connected hot to ground. You may be in danger of electrocuting someone - such as yourself. However, it's hard to tell whether you really have it set up that way, because I'm having a lot of trouble reading what you wrote. You use almost no punctuation and capitalization. Is that really necessary? You aren't typing on a cell phone here. Maybe I'm just a cranky old so and so, but if you can't take time to write properly and clearly, I don't see how you can expect anyone to take time to respond.

What you have is a common configuration which is called a 'switch loop'. Power comes in on one cable with the black then connected to another cable which takes the current down to a switch, returning it on the other wire in that second cable. Connect the white from the fan to the white from the power source. Connect the black and black/white to the white from the switch. Connect the green to the other grounds (usually bare wires in the box. The fan should then operate as before, with both the fan and light turned on and off by the switch. (If no light fixture is to be installed, do not use the black/white striped wire)

Are you saying you disconnected the old switch before taking note of it's connections?
