Sorry Hector, I should have outlined it in my previous message. For the
Repair Permissions, you launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk
Utility). You don't need to boot from another disk. Just select your volume
and click on the "First Aid" tab. You can then click on the "Repair
Permissions" button and go make yourself a coffee.

For the prebinding repair, open Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal).
When you get the input prompt (user%) type the following: "sudo
update_prebinding -verbose -root /" without the quotation marks. Make sure
you type the spaces, underline and hyphens. When it is correct, hit return.
You will be prompted for your administrator password. As you type, the
cursor does not move, so don't worry. When entered, hit return and you will
see the repair underway as Terminal scrolls the information. Go make another
coffee.

For fsck repair, you reboot and hold down Command and "S" key (for Shell).
You are then taken into a very ugly UNIX command line interface. When it is
ready, you will actually see the instructions to type "/sbin/fsck -y" Do so
and hit return. If any errors are detected, it will attempt to repair them.
Otherwise it will report that everything is OK. If it did do a repair it is
always wise to run fsck again until everything is reported OK. Then type
"reboot" and UNIX will oblige by restarting your Mac.

By now you should be so wired on coffee that everything should appear much
faster. ;)

Good luck
