It's not obviously a path problem. My preferences.xml file was updated at 15:22 yesterday, and has the right paths to the new generic files. However, the properties relating to instruments are empty - hence broken instruments :-). But if they work for you, the problem must be local, so I'll keep looking. Since it's all the instruments the common factor is the electrical supply, so I'll start there.
