App store icon not working

Since recent update came through my app store icon has changed and no longer works.
The message that comes up reads - "App store quit unexpectedly" - and has rows of coding messages below it.
One message states
"Application Specific Information:
abort() called
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSImageCacheException', reason: 'Cannot lock focus on image <NSImage 0x100393170 Size={0, 0} Reps=(
)>, because it is size zero.'
*** Call stack at first throw:"
Looking at other reports from mac forums I believe the problem happened when I updated from OS X 10.6.6.
I downloaded the 10.6.6 Combo package and tried to install but a message comes up stating I cannot update to an earlier system as I am now on 10.6.8
Any suggestions. I am not a techie person and dont want to reboot using start up disks as I may lose everything I have on laptop.
Also, do I need to have the app store working to purchase the new Lion OS.
I tried the suggestion of installing the 10.6.8 combo pack but still doesnt work

Try this...
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. (it has a small house icon) then open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.appstore folder.
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try the App Store.
Apple - OS X Lion - Sign up to be notified when Lion is available.

App store icon not working--how can I download app store...tried the process as described on the Mac page...didn't find the update or download.

My app store icon is not working. Went to Mac page of Apple store to find a new download for it and the process didn't work. No new downloads found.
Any ideas ?

Hi James...
The only way to reinstall the App Store is by downloadiing and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.

I didn't have any problems with the Malaysia App Store.
Try this... install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.
Launch the App Store.
Check the round flag icon bottom left corner of the iTunes window to make sure the correct country is selected. If not, click the flag then select Malaysia.
It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8.

Why app store is not working without card details

My app store is not working without entering card details , I lost my olf apple id .
i MADE a new one .

What do you mean by 'not working' ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If you mean that you are being prompted to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either need to enter credit card details (you should be able to delete the card after entering it) or create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it.
How did you lose your old account ? If you can't remember its details then try the following :

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

Hi sahaabhijeet,
The resource below explains how to use the App Store on your iPhone:
App Store Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2001
The App Store is a place where you can download new applications for your iPhone or iPod touch. You can browse the App Store on your computer with iTunes, or by tapping App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Do I need to sign up for a new account to shop the App Store?
If you already have an iTunes Store account, you can shop the App Store. If you do not have an iTunes Store account, you can create one using iTunes. Verify that the country flag at the bottom of the iTunes Store home page displays your country, then choose Store > Create Account. Click here for a way to set up an iTunes App Store account without a credit card. You can also create an iTunes Store account directly from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by following these instructions.
Accepted payment types
Shopping the App Store requires an iTunes Store account. When you create an iTunes Store account, you must provide a payment method for your purchase. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use credit cards, gift cards, store credit, or PayPal.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells applications, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices are listed in either US Dollars or Euros.
What can I purchase from the App Store?
At the App Store, you can browse and download applications for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Applications from the App Store can be downloaded to, but not used on, your computer. To use an application from the App Store, simply sync it to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The App Store is also available on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch1 and works over mobile phone networks and Wi-Fi, so you can download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly.
To use applications or the App Store with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you must have iOS 2.0 or later installed on your iPhone or iPod touch, and iOS 3.2 or later on iPad.
Some applications are not available in all countries. Application availability and pricing are subject to change.
Cheers,
Judy

Did you try to go to Settings > Store, tap on Apple ID, Log out and Login again.
What message do you get when you open the App Store?
