[QUOTE="rman, post: 261601, member: 23"] The easiest way to fix this is to do a fresh load of the system. Okay, if you have a command line, can you do simple commands. Like the following: pwd ls -Al df -k If you can look in your trash can by doing the following: ls -Al .Trash If you see the var and tmp folder in there, then do a cd .Trash Once there issue this command mv var tmp /private The above command should move both folders back into the locate where they came from. Now verify that the folder were moved by doing ls -l /private you should see them there. The next thing is to reboot your system. Hopefully everything will be okay. [/QUOTE]
