Hi John,
If that doesn't work, you can try Sarah's suggestion of booting to
the recovery partition. This is a hidden partition that Apple now
places on your hard drive that works as a replacement for the
startup DVD. You can boot into the Recovery partition by holding
down the Command+r keys immediately after powering up and hearing
the chime. Keep holding them down for a while, until a window with
"OS X Utilities" appears (since you have sighted assistance).
You have options to restore from Time Machine backup, Reinstall OS
X, Get Help Online, and run Disk Utility, so you can repair permissions.
I haven't used this, but I recall that Sarah used the "Reinstall OS
X" option recently. Sorry not to be able to provide first-hand details.
Hope this explanation helps.
Cheers,
Esther
