Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any pointers you can give me. This hasn't happened to me before, so after lots of research, I still can't figure out the problem.

All of the sudden, I noticed I was unable to go to "Save As.." in most of my applications. It always unexpectedly quits, the error is:

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000034


Examples of applications that this happens with: Photoshop, Audacity, Real Basic, Reason


Is there anything I can do without reformatting my whole harddrive?

Use Disc Utility to repair permissions and run Verify Disc.
See what you get.

i tried disk utility several times, and again just now, and everything passes and checks out OK. any other suggestions that might work?
