Voice Recognition - Killer - ctfmon.exe

I just fixed a pretty bad problem. For three days Dragon NaturallySpeaking seemed to be not listening to press a key, page down, page up, move right, etc., commands.
I attributed this to my strange setup. It worked a lot of the time, so I figured I was just saying it wrong. I couldn't understand why it understood complicated sentences, but did not always understand "press key enter". The dictation box seemed to be getting it right.
I think this is in the most frustrating thing I've encountered so far.

Anyhow, there is this process called "ctfmon.exe" that I believe was randomly intercepting these input commands. After turning that off, all seems to be working well.

Maybe tomorrow will be less frustrating.
