Big problems-help!

Running OSX.3. I downloaded some bits to try and convert AVIs to MPEGs. Now I just get the beachball roating when I start up. I can open applications and use things, but can't access my hard drive or folders. I've run disc utiities from my CD, but it didn't help. Please has anyone any ideas.
 
What do you mean "start-up" ?

After a complete restart of your Mac ?

In any case, try to repair your disk permissions.
 
I have repaired permissions from disc utility on CD. When I start the Mac The application window opens with nothing showing and the beachball starts going round. I can open applications from the dock and they run fine. I can go into the apple menu, and the clock works, too. I can't open the hard drive or any folders though. Any ideas?
