Quicken 2007 Quit Unexpectedly

Question

I have been using Quicken 2007 on my MacBook Pro running first Tiger then Leopard for over a year. All of a sudden, I can't launch it. When I launch it is says that Quicken Quit Unexpectedly. Here is the report:

NO CRASH REPORT
Strangely enough, when I tried to re-install it from the CD, I received the same error from the Setup program on the CD. I have been trying to troubleshoot it over at the Quicken Community, but have had no success. The thread for that is:

Any suggestions would be welcome.

The Combo update can be found here...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1055comboupdate.html
In the future just click the Support tab at the top of this forum page. The click the Downloads button near the middle of the page. You will notice, however, that the Combo update for OS X 10.5.5 is some 601 MB in size. Hopefully you have a broadband connection to the internet. Before applying the combo update be sure to run Disk Utility to verify/repair your boot drive and repair permissions. This is to make sure all is well before starting the update. Also back up any important documents (like your Quicken data file) before beginning. Then just follow the instructions.
The Combo update is the total collection of patches, features, bug fixes, etc. issued since OS X 10.5 was originally released. Normally the Software Download application downloads what is known as the delta update. The delta update applies only the fixes since the last update and is much smaller in size. This is almost always quite fine. However, sometimes things can go haywire. Applying the Combo update applies everything ever released and will sometimes fix screwball problems. Some people swear by the Combo update and always apply it instead of the delta. Mostly overkill but it doesn't hurt to try.
Notice that I use the word "sometimes" a lot. Troubleshooting can be frustrating but it's worth it considering the alternative is to start over. An archive/install is the last resort. You would do this by booting from your OS X 10.5 installation DVD and selecting the option. Archive/install re-installs OS X but leaves your data intact. The old System folder is archived and all your applications, preferences and settings are applied to the new installation. Then you apply all the updates (or the Combo update). The ultimate start over is, of course, Erase/Install which erases your hard drive, reformats it, and installs a completely fresh OS X 10.5. Your data is lost and must be restored from backups. I wouldn't go there unless I was forced to.
And last but not least Good Luck!
