installing too many apps can cause problems sometimes, and may be 1 or 2 of them causing conflict.
So one work around is to uninstall all of them and install them one by one and see which one of them is causing problem. (thats some time taking work indeed,)
Otherwise Soft reset can help you, it'll wipe phone mem/C and phone will be in "Out of Box" condition. if you have any intention to do a soft reset PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP FIRST.

Good luck.
I have an X6 and it suffers from exactly the same problem. I believe that the problem is not caused by one or two apps creating a conflict but instead that the OP (Original Poster) just has too many apps installed at once.
Nokia in its wisdom decided to scrimp on the installed RAM for its 2009 handsets e.g. N97 & X6 and I believe it's this lack of available free RAM that causes this problem in opening the Application Manager when too many apps are installed (e.g. more than 30 or 35 depending on the apps themselves). You click the icon, wait a few seconds with a blank screen and are then dumped back at the previous menu... translates to: Open the App Manager, it starts counting and scanning all the installed apps, it counts/scans up so far and then runs out of RAM and cannot continue to analyse the rest so it auto closes which is the normal behaviour for S60 when RAM memory runs really low.
You can try coolbelief's idea but I think you'll find it a waste of time. Ideally you'll have to cut back on the number of apps you have installed on the phone. If you want more than 30 to 35 apps installed on your phone then you'll have to be resigned to the fact that the App Manager won't function You can kind of work around the fact that the App Manager is disabled... if you need to uninstall a particular application, just go to its icon in the menu or menu sub-folder, click:
"Options" > "Organise" > highlight the app you want rid of > "Options" > "Remove"
I can forgive the X6 most of its faults due to that gorgeous screen but lack of free RAM is one pet hate that irritates me the most especially since my old handset was an N82 which had copious levels of free RAM.
