[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1180899, member: 190607"] There are a few common reasons for Safari to constanly crash. 1) Corrupted user preference file. Look in your user preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences/), located at: [hard drive]/Users/[your user name]/Library/Preferences for: com.apple.Safari.plist Drag that file to the desktop and restart. A new preferences file will be created in your user preferences folder when you launch Safari the next time. See if things are better. If they are, you can trash the Safari preferences file that you now have on your desktop. There is another preferences file that is often implicated with Safari crashing: com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist Try uninstalling it too. 2) Repair permissions on your hard drive. See: [url=http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html]OS X Maintenance And Troubleshooting[/url] Item #1 3) Corruped cache. Download and run: CacheOutX (free) [url=http://www.trilateralsystems.com/cacheoutx/]TriLateral Systems - Welcome[/url] to clear out your caches. (Choosing Reset Safari will also clear some caches, as will performing a Safe Boot. CacheOutX will do a more thorough job.)
