The application Finder can't be opened. -10810

Question

I am getting an error as shown in the screenshot.

This started happening after I updated my Mac OS X from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6.

Problem is that Finder stops working 5 mins after the restart and all the other aplications including Xcode 3.2.5, iPhone simulator, safari,etc stops working.

Everytime I have to restart the Mac as all the things hang.

What could be wrong?

What could be a permanent fix for this?

Solution

Thanks Guys for all your replies.

Finally had to re-install a fresh copy of Mac OS X 10.6 and upgrade back to 10.6.5. So No fix worked. Had to re-install Mac OS X.

Hope this helps someone. :)

Do you want to continue with this question or have you already decided to downgrade/reinstall Mac OS X via here?

@Ned : Thanks for your input. How can I see system.log? Is there any specific command for it. When I type system.log in Terminal it shows Invalid Command. so how can I see system log and other logs

By launching the Console application as I suggested; double-click on it. If you have access to a Terminal window, you can look in the various directories where logs reside (you may need administrator privileges). Try: cd /var/log and ls -ltr to see available logs in order of last write time; and more system.log to view the system log, for example.

Yes I did. But with no success. Finally had to re-install a fresh copy of Mac OS X 10.6 and upgrade back to 10.6.5
