[Ti] computer down

[John McGibney]

Sounds like a corrupt preference file.

1. Download preferential treatment. Start the machine in safe mode  
from his account (if it will run) an run preferential treatment to  
check the preference files.

2. Create another account for him. Transfer his needed files to the  
new account, delete the old account. If there is nothing necessary in  
his account just trash it and create a new one for him.
