Apps Keep Crashing upon Start Up

Question

Hello there I have been having trouble with apps crashing on launch. I only happens with Skype and Microsoft Office 2011. I have tried going through and repairing my disc and all that. I have even reinstalled the OS and still have the same problems. Never had a problem untill I installed the New 10.8.2 update. Ever since then I have been having A LOT of problems. Any ideas on what to try?

Are you having problems launching iMovie, or can you launch and begin editing? If you're having problems launching, I was able to fix my crash on launch in 10.0.7 with the steps below...
1. Locate your iMovie library in Finder (probably in ~/Movies).
2. Ctrl-click on it, and click Show Package Contents.
3. You should see a list of folders, one for each Event in your Library. Inside each Event folder, look for a folder called Transcoded Media.  Inside that folder, look inside the folder called High Quality Media.
3. If you see any files with a filesize of zero bytes, delete it. (You could back up each file before deleting if it makes you more comfortable, but I had no problems just deleting them)
4. Relaunch the application.
After I performed these steps iMovie 10.0.7 launched just fine for me again. Hope it can hep you too...
