I couldn't eject external disk, searching on internet followed a suggestion to delete com.apple...trash.plist in home folder library/preferences.
still didn't work and I restart the computer and it worked. I can eject the external disk. I continued browsing the internet for several hours. And when I wanted to shutdown I clicked the apple menu choose shutdown nothing came up, no dialog box. I tried the control+alt+command+eject didn't work either.

Trash is empty, so couldn't restore the file.
I have the Mac os x installation disk.
I inserted the disk tried to reinstall and when I clicked the restart button it didn't restart.

So I'm still able to use my computer normally but couldn't shutdown.
It's been hours now. please help.

spec:
processor 2 Ghz intel core 2 duo
memory 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
(imac, version 10.5.6)
 
Gulempo--- Have you tried zapping the "pram" ? Hold down the command key -;opt key-; P and R keys while doing a restart. Let it cycle thru 3 sets of startup chimes and then release the keys and let it restart completely. this may do the trick. Good Luck!
