Hi, Don't rush to the reformat, that is a drastic and usually unnecessary task. Try to do a repair permissions first. To do so...
* Go to the Finder. * Press cmd-shift-u to open the Utilities folder. * Navigate to the Disk Utility app and open it. * From the table of disks, select your Macintosh HD. * Stop Interacting with the table and select the First Aid tab. * Navigate to the Repair Disk Permissions button and press it with VO-space. * Wait patiently as it does its task. Sometimes this needs performed more than once to fix most permission errors. In some cases, you'll need to perform this from the Recovery Partition, but I'll wait to see if this does the job first. By the way, what exactly happens when you press the VO-m-m command? Is there an alert sound or simply takes you somewhere but no Menu Extras are available. Later...
