with so many people coming here, I guess it can be confirmed. Note that, however, this does not seem to affect everyone. I upgraded my desktop and did not suffer from this issue, but on Amar's computer it was very real. We ended up doing a fresh install and upgrading from hardy tribe 6. We don't know what was the cause, but the problem is gone and we can "get things done".
