First, repair disk permissions. Press Command-Shift-u to go to the Utilities folder, then press dis for Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive in the list, then navigate right to First Aid. Select that, then press VO-Space bar on Repair Disk Permissions. This can take several minutes, but it is something you should do every time you install a new application. If this doesn't fix your problem, you should try zapping the PRAM. To do this: Shut down your computer, then hold down Command-Option-p-r and keeping them held down, press the Power key and let it go. Keep the other four keys held down until you have heard the startup chime four times, then let the machine boot normally. Ask again if you need more help.
