I did manage to restart the computer and somewhat revive it, but it is still acting strangely, for example it is not letting me drag and drop with the mouse (to copy stuff from one place to another). Since all the important stuff is backed up, I am just going to do a clean install of OSX. I will lose some e-mail messages that have been downloaded to that iMac, so if someone has sent me something during the past couple of days to which I have not replied, apologies in advance. nathan On 12-jul-2008, at 9:27, Nathan wrote: > Thanks guys, I am running it as we speak (the initial Verify > Permission did find a bunch of problems).
