New Blue Screen Problem

I had the blue screen issue when I upgraded to Leopard last year, and went through the steps recommended to get things working. Since then everything has been fine - until now.

I have just downloaded the latest auto software updates - and on restarting have gone back to the frozen blue screen. I haven't reinstalled whatever it was that was causing the problem with Leopard (APE?) but have just installed the latest Macheist bundle.

Did you install the Macheist before the software updates?
It may not be fully PIE compatible.

Any ideas what I can do? I used another Mac last time, but can't do that this time round - not sure how to reinstall Leopard from DVD or to get terminal up.

I suggest using TM to backup to just before installing Macheist and see what happens.

I am having the same blue screen issue. I have a newish MacBook Pro, Intel running 10.5.2. I have had it for 3 months and it has been great. This week I did the auto updates and when it booted it stays at the blue screen, with a mouse arrow forever (I left it all night one night to see if it would go past with no success).

I tried booting in verbose mode and it runs for a minute or two showing me the command line initialization then goes to blue screen and stops. I tried clearing NVRAM, PRAM etc at boot and nothing helps. I tried booting into SAFE MODE and it would not go into safe mode, only blue screen for ever. I found article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306857 and tried option "C" first: booting into single user mode and running
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
reboot
All of the commands executed and the fsck checked out with no errors but upon reboot, the same blue screen appeared.
I ended up getting out my 10.5 install disk and booting to that and re-loading the OS as described in the article and after reload it booted up fine and worked, with the exception that iTunes won't run because my library was created with a newer version of iTunes. I had a meeting using some critical data so I was relieved to up and running and went to the meeting. Afterward, I came home and decided to give the auto update a chance and let it update everything. Afer the update ran, back to blue screen. I am now RELOADING the OS again from the install disk. What is the problem here? I need help. This has taken 2 days of my life and is very frustrating. Should I not run auto update? Can I update iTunes to make it work but choose not to do the other updates? Apple, what is breaking my new Mac Book with the update?
