IPhoto crash on openng

Question

i Photo (version 7.1.1) crashes on opening. Just Four days ago I did a clean install of the system software. I examined the disk with DiskWarrior 4 without change. I reinstalled the iPhoto, version 7.1.1 again without change. The console log app. has this to say:
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeMediaBrowser.framework/Versions/A/iLifeM ediaBrowser
Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
Reason: image not found

My Mac is a G4 1.25 GHz DP MDD, 2 GB RAM running OS 10.4.11. The Crash Log reports the problem is: Reason: image not found. Thanks for any suggestions to clear the issue.

Eric:
It looks like the iLifeMediaBroswer didn't get installed when you did the system install. You may have to do an Archive and Install (with the option to preserve the user and internet settings) in order to get that framework to install. Also don't forget to install the iLife Support 1.1 updater as it an essential part of the package. You can find it at the Apple Downloads site.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
