Problems after updating quicktime

Hey guys! I'm new here, then hello to the whole macosx community !

Ok let me start my little story.

My OS is Leopard 10.5.0. I updated my quicktime to 7.4.5, then when i rebooted, finder and spolight arent opening and crashing. Then, with appcleaner, i uinstalled QuickTime, but the problem continued. So i deleted the QTKit.framework, the console pointed it by the center of the error, so i did it. I also deleted the plists or something like that, reseted the pram and nothing, repaired permissions, verified disks and nothing!! I tryed to install the combo updater 10.5.2, but for some reason, while in the 'choose drive' part, the program freezes.
I also tryed to install via terminal, but i got this:

2008-04-20 22:08:34.815 installer[211:21d7] *** -[NSLock lock]: deadlock (<NSLock: 0x359d00>)
2008-04-20 22:08:34.815 installer[211:21d7] *** Break on _NSLockError() to debug.
installer: Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled.
installer: An error was encountered while running the the VolumeCheck tool for Mac OS X 更新組合

Well. That's all!

Thank you!

Run Software Update then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.

leopard bugs

hello - i'm a newbie too! my problem is very closely related. however, when i installed my security update, along with some others (itunes, quicktime, etc.) With the exception of dreamweaver, none of the other cs3 apps open! and recently i've discovered that my iphoto doesn't want to open either. I've tried twice sitting thru uninstalling and then reinstalling - no luck. can anyone help me?

Well deleting an application in OS X and reinstalling WILL NOT WORK in OS X. That is only good for Windows and we all know a Mac is not Windows machine.

To "reset" and application just go to the folder /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ and find the preference file for the offending application. Move that file out of the folder or delete it. This will reset the application back to square one.
