Leopard backup boots, but apps crash? Try this.

[Jimwh]

I'll answer in reverse order...I did try Archive and Install but found that my issue did not resolve itself, so that's why I double-checked my back up and went with a clean install. Then proceeded as previously mentioned.

This does not happen with a newly created library.

As for the console and crash log, I've pasted below. Unfortunately it's all Greek to me...

My apologies for a very long post...I'll have to post the Crash log separately.
