Okay. Were I in your situation, and I had all that happening, I'd go for a disk repair first. You can effect this by turning off your machine, then, when you turn it back on, make sure you hold down the command+r keys. This will cause the run time OS to start up. You want to wait about say 45 seconds or so then press comand+F5 to start voice Over. You will note that Fred will be the voice you have here. You will notice a menu of things from which you can choose. Pick the unilities option and from there, I'd select to repair the Macintosh drive. IF even repaiaring disk or disk permitions fails, then, I'd be a little more dramatic and go for a fresh installation of the OS. Very easy to do using Lion. Some here say that a fresh install won't make much of a difference; however, as I read your description of your probem and imagineing what I myself would do, those would be the things I'd try.
