I just wanted to but this title up there just in case some one has the same problem as i did yesterday with max/msp crashing on start-up. I wasn't able to find the solution using the forum search so i'm trying to remedy this. Hopefully if some has this problem they'll look at the bug report and see this

Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000048

and thereby doing a forum search with this as the subject.

While in some cases it might work to just delete all the max/msp related preferences; this didn't work for me. The only thing that worked for me was to delete the CFMsupport folder located in application support directory. After deleting the folder, i restarted max and was promted to reinstall the objects that were deleted. Just say yes and boom max runs just as it always has.. no problem. This is an easy fix. although i'm still not sure what i did to coruppt the contents of the CFMsupport folder, it might have had something to do with launching another music program at the same time i started max.. i recomend waiting for one to finish loading then start the other, to avoid any potential conflict.. :(

hope this helps someone out there, this would have saved me a lot of hassle had this been posted for me to read
