Just curious, what does a "Archive & Reinstall" involve? What gets
archived, and what does it get archived to?
Archive and install preserves all the users and settings in your
current OS. It moves your current system files and any added preference
panes to a folder labels Previous System. Once this is done, all log
ins, users and preferences have been saved and you can log in with any
of your previous users. Unless you need to nuke and pave the HD, this
is the best way to go.
A couple of other thoughts.
Yes, I have had to hit the Cuda to get things to work right.
Also, is your OS X install on a partition under 8G at the beginning of
your HD? If not, things may have worked fine until some of the system
files got pushed past the 8G point and are corrupting things.
