    "Floating point exception" error for many applications after power failure

    Hi

    I installed Hardy KDE-4 remix over the weekend and had a mostly flawless install. Spent a part of yesterday installing additional bits i wanted including Nvidia display driver.

    Had a power failure today and after that lot of applications fail to open. They fail with message "Floating point exception" when opened from konsole. Failing apps include firefox3, vlc, dragon player, mplayer etc. Reinstalling apps after purging is not making a difference,

    System still boots fine and there is no problem at all with Dolphin, opera, ktorrent etc,

    i'm foxed and your help may save me from reinstalling Kubuntu, so please take a min to drop ur suggestions

    Thanks in advance

    Ajay
