@ igor...
Well, we can agree to disagree.
Although it's possible that the problems I experienced had something to do with the fact that 4.7 was installed through the updater. As far as Tomo's case, I have a feeling Norton was, at least, partially the culprit here.
@ alanrf...
Thank you for your kind words.
I will, for the time being, be happy to stick around and help with the more generic problems.
Best Regards...
