Hello,


Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...


Reset Launch Services...

Reboot.


PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
