[QUOTE="baggss, post: 947444, member: 6762"] If safe boot doesn't work, boot from the DVD that came with your machine (insert DVD and hold down the "C" key while it boots. When you get to the second Instal screen,go to the Task Bar, Utilities, Disc Utility and verify the drive and repair permissions. If that all passes, reboot and see what happens. If it boots, cool, if not reboot from the DVD, follow it to the 3rd or 4th install screen and select OPTIONS, then choose Archive and Install. This will put a fresh copy of OSX on your machine but will integrate your Profile into it. You will then have to update your machine to whatever the latest version of OSX is, again. [/QUOTE]
