OK, before you reinstall your system, can you please paste the following
script into an empty Script Editor window and run it.  Please let me
know what it says, and whether it helped.

    set tmp_folder to quoted form of POSIX path of (path to "temp")

    try
        do shell script "test -d " & tmp_folder
        do shell script "touch " & tmp_folder & "test-$$ && rm " &
tmp_folder & "test-$$"
        display dialog ¬
            "Your system seems to be ok; I can't help you, sorry." buttons
"OK"
    on error
        set user_name to do shell script "whoami"
        try
            do shell script "mkdir -p " & tmp_folder ¬
                & "; chown " & user_name & ":staff " & tmp_folder ¬
                & " \"`dirname " & tmp_folder & ¬
                "`\"" with administrator privileges
            display dialog ¬
                "Repaired your system successfully." buttons "OK"
        on error
            display dialog ¬
                "Couldn't repair your system; no idea why, sorry." buttons
"OK"
        end try
    end try
