I'm getting application errors for a handful of my apps (Explorer, Netscape, Classic, Safari, Entourage...) when I start them up. Other apps (iTunes, iMovie, Word etc.) I just did a clean install of Camino (new ver. of Chimera) and it crashes on startup also.

Here's the clue: these apps only crash when logged in as me (admin user) for other users everything is fine. Is there some plist file that all these crashing apps share in common?

(note: I already repaired privs and disk etc.)

Thanks for any insight...

I think you answered your own question...it could be something like the com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.scheduler.plist, or something like that. I mean, you can rule out anything that is definitely attached to one application such as com.microsoft.excel.plist. Just take one at at time out, drop em on the desktop, and try to launch an app that crashes. If it doesn't fix it, throw the file back into the folder from whence it came and overwrite the newly created plist file.

I find all my apps crash more after installing 10.2.4, specifically Photoshop 7.

It was the com.apple.internetconfig.plist file. Trashed it and everything works fine.
