Safari, Mail "unexpectedly quit"

[Melissa137]

Since I installed an update last night, i can't get Safari or Mail or Software update to open!. i immediately get a window saying that the program unexpectedly quit.

Any ideas?

Which update did you install?

I think it was the latest security update - unfortunately it was early in the AM and i wasn't really paying attention. It was one of the recommended updates that pop-up periodically on the desktop. I'm not sure where to go to find out what the latest download was.

thanks, Melissa

It was the security update 2006-004. Should I uninstall it? How do I uninstall it?

thanks, Melissa

Moved to System & Software Forum.

Try Repairing Permissions first.

I repaired permissions - Mail will open but will not download - Safari still "unexpectedly quit"s

What's next?
