HELP : Saving File in any 3rd Party App causes App to Crash.

Hello Everybody I hope you are all having more enjoyable computer experiences than myself, heres the story:

Yesterday afternoon whilst browsing the net and doing a little Photoshopping work Photoshop froze when saving a file. I restart it it does it again....hmmm...Repair permissions run all maintenance scripts..Reboot...Same again. Erase all Adobe files from my machine reinstall Photoshop from original discs..same problem again..Repair permissions run all maintenance scripts...Reboot...same again....This time I try saving a flac file in xAct and all we see is the spinning beachball of death. Try the same thing in about 6 other 3rd party apps same thing again.. the beachball spins forever and ever. Yet with any Apple Apps ie: Quicktime iMovie ect. files save as they should.

Short of reinstalling my OS from scratch I cannot think of a way to rectify this...I have so much work to do and this is gonna make me cry if I have to go back to reinstalling everything.

I am running mac OS 10.4.8 on a dual 2GB G5 with 1.5Gb Ram Bootdrive : 320GB WD Sata MediaDrive: 500GB WD Sata. I only have one Os loaded on my machine and that is running from my startup drive.

I am logged in as a user I have tried repeating saving files under the admin account and the same happens Apple Apps save fine 3rd party Apps will not save at all.

If anybody out there has encountered these issues or has a possible solution please PLEASE PLEASE let me know.

I read somewhere that OS X's built in scripts only repair permissions for Apple applications and not third party apps.
Are there any scripts out there that repair permissions for 3rd party apps as well ????????


Anyway back to the machine.

Kisses Love Betty xxxx:p
