Could Software Updater Break Quictime?

Recently my machine started up Software Updater when I was just about to shut down.



It asked me if I wanted to update: Airport, Internet Explorer 5.2 Security Update and iPod Software.



I thought "Sure... even though I don't have two of those, why not?"



Shortly thereafter none of my trusted graphic apps work... Not Graphic Converter, iView or Quicktime, which is real strange.



A week or so ago I updated the system completly to 10.2.3.



In both programs, System Profiler has:



Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x7d9a0071



but with a different invalid address.



Why is this always happening... to me, I mean. Others never seem to have this kind of crap just drop in on them.

    FixRound? !



    1st Round:

    ? delete everything in your Caches folder (~/Library/Caches/)



    and try it again. If it still a NoGo then we can try some other stuff.



    and Brad, don't. just don't.

    Updating the system from the combo updater and then following it immediatly by the most recent Quicktime updater seemed to work.



    I tried the Quicktime by itself first, but that didn't work.



    Just a weird little quirk that invaded my system for the holidays, I guess.
