[QUOTE="Vpr99, post: 1386913, member: 210928"] Thanks a bunch for your reply. However, I may have stumbled upon a solution (of sorts) from another suggestion. I should have started by seeing what was going on in my Console. Searching for an error that provided led me to a problem with the Lion quarantine system. I've outlined the steps I took that solved it for me: (Less.app is my example) In Terminal, I changed directories to the following: [I]Replace everything except for Contents/MacOS with the location of your application.[/I] [CODE]$: cd /Users/ericskram/Desktop/Less.app/Contents/MacOS[/CODE] List the files in the directory using ls. There should just be one. In my case, it was named less. [CODE]$: xattr less[/CODE] There should be an entry labeled com.apple.quarantine. If there is, use the following command to remove it. [CODE]$: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine less[/CODE] Restart the system and it should work... at least it did for me.
