Yup, what you described is exactly what happened on my system. Gives
new meaning to "unstable," eh?
So is there an easier fix for this? Seems as though it would take just
as long to re-install as it would to fix every little broken piece. I'm
running on a fresh install now, so if I had to throw it all away, it
wouldn't be a problem.
