Hi there,
I have a G4 iMac running 10.3.9 and since downloading the latest security update Preview will not launch. I am unable to view any photographs whatsoever; all other apps are working OK.
I have repaired permissions, logged in as another user, gone down the fsck route - all of which have not fixed the problem. Would anyone have a 'fix?' Please!!
Thanks in advance

Having done a little more detective work, I trashed the com.apple.Preview.plist file from User/Library/Preferences then rebooted and hey presto Preview launches OK!

eddie,
Delete preview.app, get pacifist from http://macupdate.com/pacifist and insert your OS X install discs and tell it to reinstall preview.app.

If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.
