Help: safari will not load

[fruitpunch.ben]

Hi I am running a G4 PowerBook (see sig) and Safari has not worked for ages.
I have not been too worried since I can use Firefox, but am interested in seeing if Safari 4 is much faster, and I'd also like to use the Safari plugin Click to Flash, as running any flash on this computer is practically impossible, making youTube unpleasant...
Anyway Safari will not load. When I click on the dock icon the toolbar pops up but then it just crashes. Attached is the first part of the crash report which comes up every time. If you could give me some idea how to fix it that'd be really appreciated!
Cheers.

Ben

I would think that if you install Safari 4, it will remove Safari 3, and perhaps the problem. Since 3 isn't working, what do you have to lose?
