Indy, I am leaving this option as the last resort. It's the investigative
spirit in me that wants to know why. :)
Reverting back to the original doesn't sound that bad, I haven't made too
many mods...I could always recreate them or maybe even export if able.
Although the getting re-familiar with my settings sounds like a drag. I
don't suppose there's a way to export settings? I'll have to check on that.

You could completely reinstall Reaper, either by deleting the .ini file or
by finding the heading in start menu where you return to factory settings.
You'll get rid of any accidental setting that's causing problems, but you'll
also lose any convenient settings you've made, plus you'll need to enable
soundcard and any other gear you have going, and lose the path to your
stored plugIns.
I was forced to do it once or twice early on with reaper.
It has the positive factor of renewing your acquaintance with all your
settings, an optimistic view of the huge hassle. smile.
