  Hello.. I have been using Fetch for a couple of years now, most recently 5.0.4 on my Powerbook G4 with OSX Tiger. Everything has been great until this morning when I turned on my computer and tried to start Fetch. It won't even start. I get the following error:

  "The application Fetch quit unexpectedly.

  Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.

  Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple."

  I have tried to reopen it, but I get the same error again. I have also sent the report to apple.

  I then deleted the program from my hard drive and downloaded a fresh copy. That won't work either. It still crashes. Any ideas? I have had no changes to my computer between yesterday and today. And yesterday it had worked fine.

  Hi,

  Sorry you're having troubles. Could you mail your Fetch.crash.log, com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch.plist, and Fetch Prefs files to bugs at fetchsoftworks dot com?

  To find the Fetch.crash.log file:

  * Choose "Home" from the Go menu in the Finder
  * Open the Library folder
  * Open the Logs folder
  * Open the CrashReporter folder

  To find the com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch.plist and Fetch Prefs files:

  * Choose "Home" from the Go menu in the Finder
  * Open the Library folder
  * Open the Preferences folder

  After sending the files, try moving the com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch.plist and Fetch Prefs files to the desktop, and then launching Fetch; does that make the crashes stop?

  Thanks,

  I am having the same problem as Natalie - I went ahead and sent an e-mail with the requested files to bugs at fetchsoftworks dot com as well. When I moved the plist and fetch pref files to my desktop, Fetch still immediately quit. Fetch was in tip top shape the day previous and I hope this is something simple to fix... Thanks for any help!

  Dan.

  I am having the exact same problem. This just started. I downloaded 5.1 and it won't run either. Please help.

  Hi cdsisson,

  Is this a new problem with Fetch 5.1? Have you been using an earlier version of Fetch 5 successfully?

  Thanks,
