Hi! I'm about to throw my Macbook against the wall because of this problem. I've wasted enormous amounts of time trying to fix this. The case is that iMovie won't even open in my user account. The Apple Store genius is not an option because, as you see, I live in Costa Rica (where it seems that very few people deal with Macs).

1. Already tried reinstalling it.
2. All updates are applied.
3. All of the other iLife apps open.
4. Tried deleting preferences.
5. Reinstalling OS X is not an option right now because of my work, and because this is my only computer.

And... 6. It only happens on MY account. If I create a new user account, iMovie works perfectly. This means (I think) that the problem is inside my Library folder, but this folder is JUST TOO big to explore and try to find the problem.

Has this happened to you? I'm dealing with iMovie '09 BTW.
It's really getting on my nerves, to the point where I'm starting to remember the good old days of Windows and the Registry.

I really appreciate if somebody can help me, as I need this fixed for my work (I know, I know, what am I doing with iMovie instead of FCP? Light, cheap, video editing).
