At the risk of irritating you further, why would I start a new topic when it is the same problem?
We prefer users start a fresh thread when the topic is marked
closed or
solved.
What happens is someone with an issue gets lost in the old thread, often going unanswered. However if they start a new topic, it stands out as new and not answered. This also keeps the length of the topic to a minimum. I've often gotten lost in topics that have multiple users with the same issue. Trying to keep track of who your are helping can be frustrating when there are too many chefs in the kitchen.
Does that make sense? As for being a beginner, I completely understand. I was one once too.
In the end I usually cut my loss and do a re-install -- because in the end, it takes less time.
It's often best to try and resolve the issue so you learn from mistakes. Often, we can help fix things quickly if we have all the info.
I can see where reinstall is often quicker, but it has to get old after doing it several times. You can always ask for help before making changes that could break your system. While I seem to be the one who answers most of the time, there are others who often will jump in to assist.
So, did my previous post answer your question or do you still need help?
