Have you repaired permissions? If not, boot from your OSX disk, Start disk utility, go into first aid Do verify disk, and repair permissions. My apologies if this has been covered.

I removed the PRAM battery (the one that looks like a tiny soup can) , waited 20 mins, and pressed the PMU button. Didnt work. My machine wont boot into single user mode, or any other "mode:, it just boots into OSX. I'm wondering if my bios is corrupted. Maybe thats why it takes so long to boot into OSX? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
