[QUOTE="Chris H., post: 1096877, member: 124706"] The Mac OS X version is listed in my signature. My computer is fine- Norton though messed with OS X files, preventing me from doing things (such as open a Guest account). Since I need to create a Guest account on occasion, and OS X won't let me (something about writeconfig wanting a password to a keychain- a password that I never set- [i]for any keychain[/i]- yes I tried my administrative password, blank etc.) the best route to fix this is reinstalling the OS. Oh, and I know I should've said this to begin with, but this is on my MacBook. :) I don't want to lose my files, but since I know that Time Machine backs up OS X files, I don't want the problem recreated. And I don't want to use Target Disk Mode or Migration Assistant. I want a fresh, clean slate- with my music, photos, documents, Safari bookmarks and programs. [/QUOTE]
