Product Description:

Application Enhancer is a system which allows for 3rd party modules to modify and enhance the way applications behave and operate. Application Enhancers work on an application level, therefore they do not affect the stability of the underlying system. The technology behind Application Enhancer system has been in research and development for more than 4 years now, and many Unsanity haxies (including WindowShade X, FruitMenu, Silk and others) are now using it. The software development kit for developing modules is also available on the Application Enhancer home page.

What's new in this version:

Added compatibility for Mac OS X 10.5.
APE now requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later and will not install on older versions of Mac OS X.
The APE preference pane will now state why it is disabled on Mac OS X 10.6.
Added an updater to APE, set to automatically check weekly, by default.
Reduced the number of unpatchables on PowerPC (includes APELite).
Addressed some cosmetic issues in the preference pane.
Application Enhancer will now refuse to load any APE module that is not marked as compatible with 10.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.
Addressed some problems with some unpatchables due to the wonkiness of the x86 ABI (Includes APELite).
The APE prefpane now shows why some APE modules cannot be loaded.
Removed all references to the Rosetta workaround as Apple fixed that bug in Mac OS X 10.4.9 and the workaround no longer has any beneficial results.
Worked around a prebinding bug in Mac OS X 10.4.10 and earlier that made APE treat some applications as if they were on the exclude list.

as with all haxies-you need to know what youre doing.

reboot, do applejack or fsck-y, then open in safe boot, repair permissions THEN install. Reboot and repair permissions again. should work just fine

Seems like my troubles started after installing this awhile back. So after my computer finally died. I did a fresh install and I'm staying clear of this and any other hacks.
