Safari freezing/crashing

Hi all - hope someone can be of some help here...
When I try to open Safari, all that happens is it tries to open my homepage, I get the spinning beachball and then it crashes, giving me the "the application safari has quit unexpectedly" message.
After searching the forum, this is what I came up with to try to fix it:
I emptied the cache & reset safari, that did nothing. So I deleted safari & downloaded it from the apple site - still crashes. I deleted the com.apple.safari.plist preference file - still crashes.
Also, Safari still runs on the other account I have set up on the computer...what gives? And what do I do?
I'm running os X.4.11 on an iMac I've had about 2 years.
Any help much appreciated.

Runs on the other account you say? Try repairing the disk permissions in Disk Utility.
