+1 - or turn them off if you've already installed them.  This really 
smacks of a driver problem.  Also looking at backports for updated xorg* 
or linux-image* packages might be worthwhile.

Hi,

since I downloaded the latest version I have a white rectangle over the
left hand side of the screen.  I have tried everything I know such as the
Display tool and changing resolution or auto-detect displays to no avail..
If I put the mouse over the white space where I know a menu or control is
the software reacts appropriately but it is flying blind.  Any thoughts
would be gratefully received.

For a while it showed laptop as the system type and that took a bit of
fiddling to get rid of too

if it is 12.10 try running 12.04
or try running 12.10 if running 12.04
sometimes newer version fix bugs other time they reintroduce bugs[1]
