Gentlemen.

Just as we don't need spelling lessons we also don't need lessons in
email imagination and cluttering.

What's going on? Is it the heat wave making people testy?

There is only 1 "Repair Permissions".
It can be run from Disk Utility, from Onyx, from Terminal, or from any of several other utility programs. Any way it's run it does the same thing.

The message suggests you are getting a Kernel Panic, but KP's allow you to do nothing BUT shut down (and restart, of course), so I don't understand the "prevent me from shutting down..."

Commonly, KP's are related to attached hardware. What do you have connected to your computer when this occurs? Have you added any hardware recently?

What programs are running at the time? Have you started running any new software recently?

Do you run Java? If so, do you run any software that NEEDS Java? What version of MacOS?

Do you run Windows on this machine? If so, how?
