I'm having two issues with Movable Type 5.
1. On one install, the entry text box is not showing when I go to add/edit an entry/page. It appears like the CSS or something has decided to put a width of 1 or 2px's as it is slightly visible in Safari. On another install, the entry text box shows fine in Firefox but has the same issue in Safari.
2. If I create a custom field (Image type) & use it on an entry, it will allow me to publish a new entry, but comes up with "Saving Entry failed: Statement has no result columns to bind (perhaps you need to successfully call execute first) " once I go to update that entry. Any entry without that custom field being used updates fine.

For your first issue, first make sure that you are browsing to the correct URL for mt.cgi, based on the CGIPath set (if that includes www in the URL, so should the URL you browse to).
For your second issue, what version of DBD::mysql is installed on your server (as reported by mt-check.cgi).
The error you are seeing "Statement has no result columns to bind" has been seen with the 2.9004 version of the DBD::mysql perl module, which has an issue which prevents it from auto-reconnecting to the MySQL database when the connection times out. If your server does have this, or another older version of the DBD::mysql perl module, it should be upgraded, as noted in the System Requirements.
We found out that the older DBI module had caused this "Statement has no result columns to bind" error.
It will be fixed by 5.02( May 12th), but upgrading DBI to the latest version will also work with the current 5.01.
