Title is pretty self explanatory. No apps will open, and the Finder crashes every time I try and open any application, using any method. The application list includes fun things like Disc Utility, Console, and Terminal.
Things I'd tried:
Created a new Admin account. The new account has no problems.
Started in safe mode, Original account still has problems.
I've repaired permissions, repaired disk, emptied out every startup item from every conceivable location. I've even reinstalled Mavericks. Using the admin account I was able to view (and now share with you) a crash log. Does this reveal anything to anyone?
