Can't open iWork programs without them crashing...

[jumbb]

I've been trying to use Kenote and Pages, everytime I open tehm I can get to the initial screen, where it lets me choose between different templates, but everytime I choose one it crashes, shows me the beach ball until it quits ''unexpectedly''... any idea of why this is happening? I checked and it happens with Numbers as well... I lost my iwork cd's so I can't install it again...

I would go look in ~/Library/Application Support for any keynote folder. Delete or rename any plist file you find there and try to launch keynote again. ~ is your home folder. You may have to turn on show hidden files to find the folder.

Also check for updates to Mac OS X and iWork.

Keynote's preference file(.plist) will be in Home Folder>Library>Preferences. Try trashing it. It may or may not solve the problem.

I just realised it's all of iwork that's not working, I searshed for .plist files and only found one from Pagesm I deleted it but I still have the same problem...I lost my iwork cd's so I can't install it again...

What version of iWork and what version of Mac OS X? If you have misplaced your iWork disc, you can pay Apple for a replacement. Or if you have access to the Mac App Store, you can purchase the applications individually if you don't have a need for all 3.
