	I can not tell you why your new installation or your old install fails.
We have not been given enough information to know. But I can say, since
your new install has not been on the Internet that Spyware or Malware
are not culprits. Such software can only run from the OS they were
installed on. The new installation thus could not be corrupted. Unless
the new install was from a backup or some other source then an Apple
install disk.
