Call Apple...1-800-APL-CARE....you have AppleCare correct?
 
Try a "Safe Boot" to see if this corrects the issue (this takes much longer than a regular boot).

If that fails, see if you can startup in Single User Mode (hold down command-s keys at startup)

If you can, then type these commands (in bold) followed by the return key:

/sbin/fsck -fy

If there are errors reported repeat the command (up to 6 times) until you get a clean pass.

Then type:

mount -uw /

rm -rf /Users/yourshortname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist

where "yourshortname" is the name of your home folder (usually your short name as an administrator)

rm -rf /Users/yourshortname/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist

reboot

See if that fixes your problem. I also suggest you download the 10.5.3 combo updater and install that in Safe Boot mode (even if you have upgraded already).
 
Yeah that's what apple suggested that didn't work
so they suggested to re install leoprd which I am doing now
lets see if that works
