    It boots, does the grey screen, then does the Starting OSX, then the blue wallpaper but won't load anything after that.

    Press the shift key when booting up to get into safe mode then you should be able to get rid of the app.

    What were you installing?

    And koolpc you are more likely to have a problem not installing updates than if you do.

    Very nice for you KoolPC, but this is still about a problem David has had with his Mac.. and nothing to do with if you trust a microsoft update install or not..

    Mac's and OSX are made by Apple, in case you hadn't noticed, NOT Microsoft..


    David: Have you tried going in with the recovery thingy from the OSX CD? It might be a permissions thing tied itself in a knot..
