Hi - I have an emac which keeps quitting Safari and Mail on start up. Can anybody out there help me please.

Here is part of the Safari error log:

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

It seems like your WebCore frameworks are damaged. Try a different account to verify, then do a reinstall.

Hi - thanks for the reply.

i am not a developer/programmer, just a simple graphic designer mac user.

When you say: try a different account to verify, what exactly do you mean??

Cheers

Create a second user account (in System Preferences), log in to that account, and check if the same thing happens there. If it doesn't, something in your current user is the problem. If it does (most likely), you need to reinstall.
