Well, I just dorked out. Messed with my settings to do tweeks and now I'm stumped. In a nutshell, I was in the Setup > Appearance menu. I changed the Paint Engine setting from QT to OpenGL. Once I "finished" that menu branch the front-end crashed to the desktop, requiring a restart.

Now, sub menus no longer work, and I can't watch video. I'm stuck being mocked by the basic menus. I believe what I need to do is change the paint engine back to QT and not do this again but I don't know how to manually make that happen and I am surfing blind in that setup option since the sub-menu doesn't work.

Anybody have an idea? :(
