Application cannot be launched - 10810

Question

The last couple of days I've had this error come up on several occasions. I can't seem to have more than two apps open at one time. If I close one, then I can open the one that just gave me the error. I checked the memory and it read good - 2g. I process the updates as they come along. Any ideas as to what is causing this error?

HI JC and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Have you performed any maintenance lately?
First check the boot disk for errors;
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.
Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do one of the following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk.
Also, when you download and install software updates, make sure and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions: Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
Also, check to see how much available drive space there is:
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is much better.
If you can find a crash log and copy/paste here that might help. Here's how to do that:
1. Open Finder.
2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog:
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
4. Click the Go button.
5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.
