Yes, all point and laugh... For I am stupid.
I reinstalled MSVC just on the offchance that it'd work... And it did. The only thing I had changed before was the default button it mapped to - I think it tried to put itself on internet explorer button or something the first time, and I changed it to associate with voice dialing by accident. After I reinstalled it, it seemed to work itself out.
Thanks for the help though man
