HELP, can't launch 3rd party apps - Mac Applications & Software

[Laszlo Bako]

Dear all,

Maybe its just a coincidence, but since I have updated Safari to v1.0 my PB G4 running OSX 10.2.6 will not launch any 3rd party applications (BBEdit, Photoshop, MSOffice, etc). Error message tells me that

"The application xx could not be launched because of a shared library error <application><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound><>"

Native apps like Safari, Apple Mail, iPhoto and alikes are just running fine. I have tried the usual remedies (Disk Utility, fsck, permission repairs) to no avail. I would be very grateful if a kind sould would suggest me a solution other than sys reinstall.
thanks a lot,

laszlo

No, no trace of such an updater in the Receipts folder.
