Has anyone run into this issue where Safari simply will not run after installing iPC? I've installed a few times and each time both Safari 3 and 4 beachball and I am forced to force quit. I've reinstalled Safari multiple times also.

Any thoughts?

As in Safari crashes every time the application is launched.

Author Update #2 @aquanutz 2009-03-14

Yeah, this happens with the version of Flash that comes installed. I'm thinking I am just going to do a vanilla install soon anyhow.

What do you mean Safari won't run after you install iPC?

Field Note #2 @eMatoS 2009-03-14

I had a similar problem and it was because of the latest flash player. So I got an older version and now it's all right, although it crashes now and then but it's a beta so...

this doesn't happen to me and i've just reinstalled iPC on this machine several times the last few days playing with stuff. i'm using iPC 10.5.6 beta. i've updated to security update 2009-1, running voodoo kernel 2/9.6... i'm typing this on safari 3, and will update to safari 4.

i don't know why yours doesn't work though. but crashing webkit i've encountered on a real mac. i just reinstalled webkit and boom, all good.

maybe safe mode will work for you?
