[update]

i resolved the problem, i'll post the details just incase anyone ever has this happen to them.

First of i tried everything i could find. Reset the PRAM, booted from the osx cd and changed my password, repaired the disk, repaired the premissions, made sure the correct startup disk was selected and everything that i could try there, and nothing fixed it.

i tried booting in safemood, didnt work

and then i tried the single user boot and stuff and none of that worked

after i unplugged all the usb componts, and network, etc, IT WORKED :D i was able to login :D

the problem was i was trying to setup my usb webcam to work in iChatAV, you have to install the mac version driver for your webcam, then install iChatUSBcam, then install the macam component in /library/quick time

for whatever reason the macam component wasnt put in there right, after fix that everything seems to be working now including the usb cam in ichatav

sorry
