Hi, I am experiencing application crashes on about half of my applications, while the others run but are kind of slow. I will try to give as much info as possible below:

* Some of the applications that crash include Quicksilver, Bean, Chrome, TotalFinder, TrueCrypt, start-gpg-agent, and uTorrent.

* Some of the applications that run include Firefox, Finder, TextEdit, Thunderbird,

* I have tried rebooting to no avail.

* When I tried to reinstall a malfunctioning application, I downloaded the .dmg and when I tried to mount it I got an error message.

* I suspect a deterioration of my hard drive may be the issue, it is on the older end of things. I ran Disk Utility, hit Verify, and got "The volume ______ appears to be OK."

* I can give crash report logs from Console utility if those will help. Personally, I don't know how to interpret them.

Let me know if there's any other info that would help or what else I should try. I'll be watching this thread since the issue is pretty serious and urgent for me. Thanks in advance!
