(During the time since January 5, it has been work, but today it disappeared again. This was at my newer computer, about 5 years old (Pentium 4 CPU @ 2.40GHz, with 2GB RAM. BIOS from 2003.
I also have a 10 years old Packard Bell, Pentium 2 @ 450MHz, 376MB RAM (BIOS from 1998 (?)) with the same problem after upgrading to 7.10 - sometimes it seen and sometimes not. Before update I only saw it once... then it was gone. After 7.04 there is an error direct after startup saying that there is BIOS cut at the year 2000 shown on but I haven't noticed any other problems. )
