Mac OS X 10.4.10 Special Report: Applications will not launch
Some users have reported problems launching applications after applying the Mac OS X 10.4.10 updater.

"I didn't see this until this morning an did the combined update last night. Photoshop now quits before it loads all other parts of CS open. So far that seems to be the only issue, but a big one."

Follow up to Toast problem: redid with safe mode/combo install, cleared up a couple of small problems, but not the Toast issue. Spotted discussion on Roxio about Perian causing problems with Toast not launching. Removed Perian and problems went away.

- One of my Mac users was having the same problem with Firefox and Acrobat not launching since the update. I double-checked by creating a new account and the same happened in that account as well. I ended up doing a fresh install of 10.4.9 on a second internal hard disk on her Mac which fixed it.
