This sounds a bit odd to me. The only thing coming to mind at the moment is that I have seen strange errors (maybe not THIS strange though) with new projects until executing a right-click on the project (left pane) and select Index->Rebuild.

Possibly you need an update of the WPI plugin? If you went through the screensteps very carefully, you will have set your preferences to auto update. Maybe check to see if that's still 'set' right? Preferences... Updates->AutoUpdate and check the checkbox for allowing automatic updates. You can also manually check for updates via Help->Check for updates.

Let us know what you find!
