PLEASE help ...problems with Safari after OSX 10.4.11

Question

I am so , so frustrated. After trying to install the new osx, my safari will not open. A pop on the deck and nothing. I could not install the update either. I got an error message. I tried to reinstall 10.4.11 and still error.
I don't know much about my computer so please be very explicit...
I tried to call the tech support, but of course my 1 year expired and they will not talk until they get $$. Well I find that this is crap, since it seems after reading the postings that this is their doing. Anyway I ruined my Thanksgiving...CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I tried to read the posts, but not sure how to apply.
THANK YOU!
Is it any fix utility on mac..have no clue.

Answer 1

Here is what I did so far.
*1.I have Fire Fox, which works great.*
*2. I did a disk check and some error showed up...but would not give me the option to repair disk...see below*
Verifying volume “ ”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid node structure_
The volume needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
If someoane can make sense of this and tell me how to repair would be great.
*3. I also did permission repair twice and restart, but safari still not working*
*4. Here is the summary from console:*
