There are a few solutions to this, here's two good ways of fixing your problem:

1. SSH in and remove whatever third party software you installed (you say Boxee 
but 
you say etc, do you mean other frapps as well?). If you installed atvfiles then 
that's probably your problem, just see the recent issues, I posted a scripted 
solution for updating version.
2. Hold Menu and - Keys and choose Factory Restore

Go to the third party website and seek help there. We cover atvusb issues, and 
to a 
lesser extend the implementation of xbmc-launcher.

I was able to do a work around by doing a factory restore and not updating the 
apple
tv . Everything worked well until I tried to install the atvfiles {wish I had 
read
your comment before doing that oh well just time. You mentioned SSH , being a 
newbee
to the mac can you explain this for the old guy in the group. Not sure what to 
do?
Thanks

Hehe, knew it was atvFiles giving you the trouble. To connect via SSH (taken 
from 
Wiki page): Open Terminal and type the following command, with your Apple TV's 
IP 
address where it says <atv ip>: 

ssh frontrow@<atv ip> 

then hit Enter, type frontrow as the password, and hit enter again. 

Now to download and install a working atvfiles for 3.x firmware, run these 
commands:

wget http://ericiii.net/sa/appletv/ATVFiles-1.3.0b1.run
sudo ./ATVFiles-1.3.0b1.run

I was able to get the new ATV files to install by using this command sudo sh
ATVFiles-1.3.0b1.run
