Hi Donna and list I am thinking with the various peculiarities I am having with voiceover, and given I have only had the Macbook Pro for about 3 weeks, of taking it back to default and starting again with a clean install. Have spoken to Apple accessibility, even did a create a new user, and still the odd problems persist so it was suggested that a clean install would be the way to go. Please report back here to the list if you go ahead so I can see what issues I will have to deal with if I can get my courage to win over my nervousness. Got the Command plus r but have read things about moving some slider thing and possible renaming of hard drive, so ... Donna you will be my example, give me the courage I need. I will await your feedback, thanks.
