Tim, Your thinking on the same line as I am,
However I’m wondering also if he may have eraised the recovery partition whyle in disk utilities.

When you say "Reset", what exactly do you mean? 2. You said that you wiped the drive, did you reinstall the MacOS? 3. Have you tried starting up from the Recovery Partition? That is, turning on your Mac and holding down the cmd and r keys right after pressing the power button. Hold those keys down for about five to ten seconds then release. Wait about a minute then press cmd-f5 to turn VO on and see if it speaks. If it doesn't, wait a minute longer then try again. If VO does start then, we can proceed from there. Later...

I always have two logins on my Macintosh, and for all standard tasks I use an account with no special privileges. When doing developer or testing I will often create a separate account for that. With GID it is so easy to get the latest Net code and with testing it is a good idea to start with a standard users settings and not something I have customized.
