[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 382818, member: 3889"] Tyler, I'd just as soon stay away from Terminal, if it's all the same with you. The computer needs to be running properly first, anyway. Restart it while holding down the Apple key and the "s" key. White type will scroll up on a black background. When it stops flowing, type fsck -fy (include the space and the hyphen) where the cursor is at the bottom of the white type. Then hit return. This runs Disk Utility's disk-repair program, but without having to load the DVD. When it's done, and if the message says the disk appears to be OK but it was repaired or modified, type fsck -fy and hit return again. Do this until the message says the disk is OK, but without including a message saying the disk was modified. Then type reboot and hit return to restart the machine properly. When the computer is up, go into the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder, and double-click Disk Utility. When it's running, click on the name of your hard drive at the top left, then on the Repair Permissions button at the bottom left. Then let us know what happened. [/QUOTE]
