good luck!

also, just go to the root of your hardrive to make a copy of the mach_kernel and just copy it to the desktop, or someplace easy for you to remember.
I cant find the "mach_kernel" file your talking about. I double click on my hard drive(on my desktop) and see 4 folders applications, system, users and library. I dont know where to go from there. I would appreciated it you(or anyone else) would point in the right direction.
