Safari 4.1 crashes

I just installed Safari 4.1 for Tiger, and it crashes every time I try to open it. I tried removing the input manager software that I had added, but that did not help. Is Smart Crash Reports a normal part of Safari, or should I remove that as well? Is there any way to reinstall Safari 4.0.5? Would deleting Safari from the Applications directory make it possible to reinstall 4.0.5?
 
I'd look through the system and crash logs(and install log if there is one) for clues as to why this is happening. Use Spotlight to search for Console, the app that will allow you to read the various logs.
 
I have the crash report, but it means nothing to me. Here it is:

You have Application Enhancer installed. That is arguably the most unstable "add-on" you could install.

Try removing Application Enhancer (APE) and see if your crashes disappear -- I would be surprised if they didn't.
 
I excluded Safari from being handled by Shapeshifter and APE. That did no good.

I deleted Safari using Appzapper, then used Pacifist to install Safari from the Mac install disk. Safari was then at version 2.0.3. I then reinstalled the last combo update for Mac OS Tiger. That brought Safari up to 3.0.4. Safari now works. I tried installing a Safari update again, but the OS still insists that there is a newer version already installed than even v. 3.2.3! How it comes to that conclusion, I have no idea. Is there no way to install any more updates?
Is there any way to fool the OS into considering that the last version of Safari it ever had was 4.0.5? Maybe there is some tweak that can be applied through the Terminal?
 
You may not be able to install a newer version of Safari because the installer is finding a "receipt" for a newer version of Safari in your /System/Library/Receipts (or is it /Library/Receipts?) folder.

Only delete the receipts you know you don't need that pertain to Safari from there -- deleting other receipts can cause your system to have unpredictable results, such as not being able to repair permissions among other nasty things.
 
There are no receipts for Safari in /Library/Receipts (and /System/Library has no Receipts), probably because Appzapper removed anything to do with Safari before I reinstalled it. There must be somewhere else where the system keeps track of version numbers for Mac software.
