I am sitting in front of Ms. Harrigan's iMac, and it is behaving quite oddly.

 It will boot if I insert my snow leopard disc, but will not boot on its own.  I have run "verify disk" and it looks to be ok, but when I try to repair or verify permissions, it stops a quarter of the way through. It's also not wanting to connect to wifi or ethernet.  It ran all the way through the repair on the Admin account, but it is currently paused in the same spot on the student account.  There's also an error from the Lexia program when I try to run it that says that the program does not have proper permissions: "The following folder must have "modify file' permissions for this computer: MacintoshHD:Applications:Lexia Learning Systems:LLSCommon:Records:modDB.txt"  I'm still working on it, but I wonder if anyone has experience with this?  Is there a way to repair permissions for a single program?  I'm going to try reinstalling lexia.

I'd like to reinstall the OS, but I do not have the 10.5 OS. Do we have one?  I have tried looking around the school and haven't had any luck.  I could download one and use it, but I know that's a no-no.  What do you think I should do?  

I've also not been able to find the binder in the office.  Am I not looking in the right place?  If not, I can bring in an old binder I have, but I would like a copy of the tech requests sheet and cover sheet for the binder so that it's the standard format.

I've been asking the teachers, and they seem reluctant to have a shortcut on their desktops.  They seem to like email, but I don't get emails from anyone!  Maybe the binder is the best solution?
