Hi there.
ive been having this problem for over a week now and i cant seem to find an answer on how to fix it.
i recently downloaded a file which had some vsts in it(demo's)i installed them but ever since then i cant get past the initial desktop screen on my macbook pro.(you know just before your icons pop up on the desktop screen)
i keep getting the spinning wheel.
now ive tried every command under the sun to rectify this but its not working.
its been suggested to me that i should boot from my install disk but after moving countries i lost it.
i did happen to get a mac osx disk from a friend of mine but this only lets me get into a sreen where i can perform actions in disk utility and a few other irrelevant actions.
i know what file has done this and i just want to be able to get into my harddrive and delete it.
i was also under the impression that if i had a copy of osx i could boot from it.
this to me meant that i could use my computer normally but bypass the internal startup but maybe im wrong in assuming that.
im at my wits end and very close to bringing it into a shop where ill more than likely be charged to have them do something i feel might be a simple fix.
so has anyone got any suggestions.
(ps sorry for the long post but i felt you should know what avenues ive already pursued.oh and that includes searching on here)
