If you could translate that into language understood by someone who treats his computer as a typewriter with a telly attached, I might be able to respond...

If you go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
then you select your hard drive in the left-hand panel and click verify disk permissions. Once that is done it'll let you do repair disk permissions. It's my default course of action when something goes wrong on a mac.

Hmph.
It's not even letting me do that... I can see the "Verify" button, but I can't press it.

I think I should perhaps just give up and buy a regular CD player for the study instead...

(Thanks for the tip, though...)

Weird
You have selected Macintosh HD and you are looking at the FIrst Aid panel of Disk Utility?

Can you go to System Preferences-Accounts and check that you are logged in as an admin?
