Do you see a Dock icon for it or an icon in the menu bar? If not, it's probably crashing. To answer your question, Mac applications (if written correctly) never modify themselves, so re-downloading/reinstalling them will make no difference. Here's what you want to trash in Quicksilver's case to start completely fresh. (~ is your home directory.) ~/Library/Preferences/com.blacktree.Quicksilver.plist ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver ~/Library/Caches/com.blacktree.Quicksilver ~/Library/Caches/Quicksilver -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
