imac "the application preview can't be opened." -600
When I try and open any jpeg using Preview on the iMac (OSX 10.6) I get the error message imac "the application preview can't be opened." -600.
Any ideas?

Wow, strange error:
"-600 procNotFound No eligible process with specified process serial number"
That is the strangest error for not opening an app.
Can you open the app otherwise when not opening a JPEG?

The end user reports that the Preview application is now working. It will probably start failing again.
If it does, I will try the Disk Utility from the upgrade DVD. If that doesn't fix things, I'll have to try to reinstall the OS.
I've never re-installed an Apple OS before. Is it as easy as a reinstall of Windows XP?

If not, you could try deleting preferences related to Preview in your account under your home, Library, Preferences. They will be named com.apple.Preview.plist, but there maybe be some with other names like com.apple.Preview.LSShared
Make sure to quit Preview if it is running, then relaunch and see if you can open a jpeg.
