Well, when I said "reboot" the computer, that's what I meant. I
didn't mean to reinstall your programs from scratch. I simply meant a reboot of turning the computer off and back on -- a simple restart to wipe the memory clear. Yes, that often means you lose some information for a project you were working on (or at least any information since your last save), but more often than not that usually unclogs the plumbing.

This doesn't sound like a driver problem, but I could be wrong. It doesn't sound like something corrupted the actual driver. It seems more like you were trying to save this file and it simply got stuck in the program's memory. For example, like when you shut the computer off quick without shutting down your browser properly (say Firefox), at which point the next time you turn the computer on you get a message saying "Firefox did not close properly last time. Do you want all your previous open tabs restored?" -- that kind of thing.
Just so you don't have to reinstall any programs or go into your drivers or anything drastic like that...and since you have a Windows system...have you tried doing a System Restore and just going back one day? So the computer simply resets itself to how it was running YESTERDAY when you were having NO problems?
