log in problem

Hi,
I'm running OS x 10.2 on my old dome shaped iMac and recently turned it on after it having been off for a few weeks. When I try to log in, it takes forever and then bits and pieces of my desktop appear and then it goes back to the log in screen. I was able to boot from the OS X cd and ran disk utility. It said something about an invalid b-tree? Is this something I can somehow repair myself with a program or does it require me to take it in for a pro repair? Thanks in advance for anyone with any information.
Thoth
 
Did you run the Repair Disk option when you ran Disk Utility from the installation disc? It might be able to repair it. Run it a few times until it says that the volume is OK.
