[QUOTE="Matthew M., post: 514741, member: 17160"] Thanks. The good news is that changing the permissions helped, but the problem is there are SO many folders on my external HD that are now locked that it would take me all day to try and change them back. Also, when I tried to use Mail to check my e-mail (GMail account), it wouldn't retrieve any previous messages, just new ones. All of this started once I deleted my original Administrator account. When I deleted it, they asked if I wanted to delete all its contents, including its home folder and I said yes. Ever since I've deleted the account, it seems that things aren't quite the same. Is there still hope or should I maybe reinstall? And if so, how would I do that? [/QUOTE]
