You cannot use the application “Preview” with this version of Mac OS X

Since upgrading to Leopard, I’ve had occasional problems launching applications. So far, it’s happened with Preview.app and Stickies.app, both on the MacBook Pro and on the Mac Pro. In both cases, a reboot solved the problem, but I’ve read that some folks are having the problem persist. Annoying!

   Did you do an in place upgrade or wipe and install? I had anomalies in both Panther->Tiger and Tiger->Leopard in place upgrades so in both cases I ended up doing a wipe and clean install. The migration assistant does a great job of copying over your applications, docs, and user settings from a backup.

   Leopard, the new Vista. It has now been called Leoptard.

   I figured out why this was happening, and posted about it.
