Sorry to hear it is not working out Max, I hope it will be addressed soon.

Is there a particular reason you feel you need to go through the trouble to
upgrade to F18 though? I was planning to, but after all the horror stories
that have made the rounds here, I am seriously considering waiting for F19
unless I absolutely need F18. At the moment, I have F17 running as solid as
a rock on my box, and there is little reason to change that.
