A few of my apps have started to not start. They are launched and their icon appears for a split second in the dock before fading away. No error message. I don't recall making any major change, nothing irregular. Here's a non-comprehensive list of broken apps in case you see something they have in common. Eg, no Adobe software works but all Apple software does.

Adobe Creative Suite
VNCViewer
NXClient
Folding@Home
Fugu
TextForge
Tomato Torrent
BitTorrent
Google Earth

What does work

All Apple software
Firefox
Skype
Opera
Transmission
Quick Silver

er... looks like all the Universal apps are working and the PPC specific apps are not... as a first glance. Are you have an Intel or PPC CPU? Your sig says MacBook so I assume Intel. Is this a Rosetta problem?

Yes! They are all PPC apps. How do I run them with Rosetta? I know you're supposed to set it in the info window, but I don't see the checkbox. That might just be part of the problem. The console output is, for Folding@home for example,

dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL
Referenced from: /Applications/Productivity/Folding@home.app/Contents/MacOS/Folding@home
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL: mach-o, but wrong architecture
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I am at work now and cannot visualise how to do this. I'll reply later unless someone sorts it before then.
