Safari won't start

by reichorn.mac Aug 8, 2009 3:01AM PDT

I have a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 running OS 10.4.11. Safari was working fine (v. 4.0.2) yesterday. Now it won't launch- it hangs up and I must force quit. It works fine under other users, but not my user account. It also works fine when I launch my back up system on the other hard drive. I have tried reinstalling Safari and deleting preference files, but haven't been able to get Safari to launch.

with Admin rights, and use that.
If Safari works for you, move your stuff over to the new account and delete the old one
