Here are some of the comments about his fix:

interesting. was working through some common things that might cause that behavior from the simple and most likely to the more obscure and less likely... that is indeed on the more obscure end.
Got a link to the fix? that really sounds interesting and I wouldn't mind reading up a little more on possible causes if they have that info available. What also is a bit of a noodle scratcher for me is you say that 2 programs were left unaffected. I would think a file association problem in the registry would do it for all programs, even ones that were open at the time.
edit: a link to not just the registry file but where the fix was discussed
