Apps crash on close

[awurst]

I have a strange problem on my Ti running 10.1.5 that doesn't seem to be hurting anything but is driving me crazy. When I close OS X Mail, IE, Word and Excel I usually get the "The application xxxxxxxx has unexpectedly quit" message. The message is displayed at the very end of the close cycle. Now this message is not displayed every time I open and close the application?? If I just open and close a given app I could do it all day and not get the error. Something is causing it after the applications are open for a while and I been working in them. There is a crash log generated but I can’t make heads or tails out of what is in it. The below are the first few lines of the crash with something about the ContextualMenuPlugin being void??: Any suggestions or help anyone can give me on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Al

This means that the program accessed memory that wasn't it's own, or that didn't exist.

The void part in brackets shows that the methods (such as TContextualMenuPlugin) aren't taking any arguments.

I don't know why you would be getting this error more than normal, but it doesn't hurt your computer. You might get corrupted preference files if the crash of the program happens during a write of the file though.

Any clues as to why this would be happening? It really is driving me crazy and I have been trying to tack this down.

Thanks
