OK, this thing USED to work...?

Well, my formerly stable and happy installation of Analog Factory has started doing some strange things:
1.  Keyboard MIDI input or clicking on keyboard keys in the gui no longer works in the standalone.  All the knobs/wheels are fine!  
2.  The "File" pulldown no longer works in the standalone- cannot update audio settings.  It just does not open.
3.  Tried the VST (Sonar).  The keyboard worked this time but I got audio output on the assigned out, and on another out which I was unable to turn off.  Using any CC resulted in horrible distortion/glitching- most notably the pitch and mod wheels.

Help?!?!?

The culprit:  WindowsBlinds

By skinning the GUI it disabled the "File" window, and I couldn't configure my audio or MIDI, which changes frequently due to firewire and USB devices being plugged in/unplugged.  I disabled skinning of Arturia, but probably should remove the piece of hackware from this machine altogether.
