[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 488594"] Welcome to Mac-Forums, jucliu. How did you reinstall the OS? If you used the [I]Archive and Install[/I] method, you probably reimported the weirdness in the new OS. I would personally use the [I]Delete and Install[/I] method. If that is what you used to reinstall, reboot from the restore disks and instead of reinstalling right away, look at the items in the menubar: one of them should contain DiskUtility. Select it and wipe your hard drive using the zero all data method. It will be longer but at least it ought to get rid of everything there was on it, even the deep down stuff. Once DiskUtility is done with the deletion, reinstall the OS. Good luck! Let us know how it goes. :) [/QUOTE]
