OK,

So I choose option 1 and let it complete the TX hash scan.
I waited, waited and then waited some more, and yes!, it finally came through!

It displays 'connected' and everything you wish for,
however there is still "a little something" wrong:

All balances on all wallets are empty and there is no sign of transactions, while I am very sure that I made transactions and had positive balances before.

Go to Help > Rescan Balances and then restart Armory.

I'm back to loosing all trust in Armory and have the feeling that I should accept that everything's lost in cyberspace thanks to "the most secure platform".--- NOOOOOT !!!!

Just because you don't see the Bitcoin there does not mean that they are lost. That is not how Bitcoin works, none of the transactions and such are dependent on the wallet. All you need are the private keys, and you still have those.
