Following up to my own post once again...  

Windows has this interesting feature that lets you restore the system to a previous date.  I arbitrarily restored my Windows environment back two weeks and now my apps run fine.  This is fine for me because I only use Windows to test web pages and Valentina apps.  If this happens to one of my users, I'm screwed....
