No, pop your OS X disc in, head to the recovery / bootup and run disk utility and click the boot disc then click "Repair Permissions".
I'd imagine that'll do the trick.

Where has anyone ever said something like that on this forum? :S
I suggest doing what Jew said, however if that fails restore from Time Machine backup if you have one.

It looks to me like you could try doing a restore from Time Machine backup if you've got one, else try to do what Jew said. If that fails, use Disk Utility and wipe the HDD (or don't if you can't be bothered) and reinstall your version of OS X.
Wait... Is it Leopard you're having problems with? If you're upgrading to Leopard, did you pay for it or is it nulled as nulled OS X installs are commonly corrupt in some way.
