[QUOTE="neutrino, post: 167282"] I'm having a very similar problem, with a few extra complications - hopefully someone can help. I have a brand new (got it yesterday) pb running tiger, it started up fine a few times. I passworded the hard drive and changed the permissions on it so that the owner is my username and no one else has access to it. Shortly after doing that (related?) the screensaver turned on and would not turn off. So I rebooted and it now boots almost directly to the commandline and has me log in. I see the grey apple screen and the "starting" screen with the blue bar, then right to the command line. So I enter my username and password then: When I type "exit," it flashes a blue booting screen for about a second, then right back to the command line, asking for my un & pw again. When I type "reboot" it says "command not allowed" And I tried to run a fsck, but it does nothing. I type "/sbin/fsck -y" and hit enter and get another command prompt - no feedback of any kind. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
