So, here's what happened.
While I was reaching behind the computer to get the wireless usb connector I heard a little ding from my machine. I counted out ten seconds and then reinserted the connector and stepped back to look at the message.
Lo and behold it was a notice from WPS Office ( an open source knockoff of Microsoft Office ) that my version was no longer functional and I should download the new version. I did as I was told and the problem is gone.
I suspect that they put out some kind of "upgrade" (and if there was a notification of it, I missed it) and they caught holy hell from other people who suddenly found their computers all fucked up too.
I appreciate all the suggestions but it appears this was a man-made catastrophe rather than some random Windows miscue!
