Cocktail

Nothing is working. I downloaded Safari Enhancer (as someone suggested), I deleted prefs, rebooted, repaired permissions, ran Cocktail - all still no allowing access to even simple sites like Amazon.

Cocktail allows you to force empty the trash, but you said you can't download anything. Your best bet would be to backup all of your stuff onto a CD/DVD, then go out and grab a copy of Tiger to replace 10.1 (ewww), give your computer a super clean format then install Tiger and you'll be in the speeding zone again.
