How do I contact them anyhow? I had an Apple Id and stuff, but I
lost all the info. :( Sorry I am so clueless about this. One more
question. If I do this install where none of my settings are messed
with, will I have to reinstall programs like RealPlayer and Spark and
such?

You really don't need sighted assistance to do either the "archive
and install" (where your home directory and accounts are
maintained) or a total reinstall; the installation talks for you
with vo quite nicely. I'm guessing you think that a sighted person
may see something in the install that you miss with vo; I don't
really think this is the case but since I've never done it without
vo I can't say that for sure. It never hurts to have help if you're
in doubt; just wanted you to know that it's ordinarily quite doable
with vo on your own. Personally I would try the "archive and
install" checking the box that allows you to preserve your settings
and home directory, first; if that doesn't work, then and only then
would I do a complete reinstall from scratch; the install isn't
really time-consuming or complicated so you probably would have
nothing to lose by trying the least drastic route first. However,
if you describe your problems to Apple, it's possible they'll be
able to tell that you'd have to do the complete reinstall to
resolve your problems.
