Sheila, here's something to try to fully complete the repair permissions
process. This will work if you are running Maverix, I believe it also works in
Mountain Lion.
Completely shut down the computer, and when you turn it back on, right after
the chime, press command R for a few seconds.
Wait a few more seconds, perhaps 30, then turn on Voiceover with Command F5.
You will then be on the recovery screen working with the recovery partition
where you can work with disk utilities for Macintosh HD.

Well Jim,
I was feeling pretty pleased with myself, having found the utilities folder and
gotten the process going. There were two disks to choose from, so I decided to
get them both. The first one was 500 Hitachi something or other, and that one
seemed to go fairly well. The second one, Mackentosh HD or something like that
started repairing sometime ago, but now seems to have been showing one minute
left to go for at least a half an hour. Not sure how to proceed now.
