Reboot, then repair permissions, then reboot again.

You don't need the install disks for repairing permissions:



Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).


In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.


This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Later versions of OS X.

Rebooting just means restarting.
