[X-Newbies] Re: OS 10.3.7 on CD?

Sue,

It's quite simple. From the finder, under the Go menu choose Utilities 
(Command-Shift-U). Find and launch "Disk Utility". When the window 
shows up, select your hard drive from the list on the left and then 
press the "Repair Disk Permissions" button in the lower middle of the 
window. That's it, just wait until it's done.
