Hi Midoli, It is unlikely that opening a .hdr file or .img would cause the crashing you are seeing. And after rebooting the machine, as you did before, any hanging/rogue Caret processes would be killed off, for sure. Caret does not try to pick up where it left off when you relaunch. It might remember path locations, but that's about it.
There is a Caret environment file named like .caret* (where * is replaced with some string I can't currently recall) that stores the history. In a terminal window, do "cd ~" and then "ls -al .caret*" and see if it finds any files named like that. If it does find something named like ".caret_history", then do "rm .caret_history" and see if Caret launches. You are welcome to try upgrading the OS, but that measure seems unwarranted. By the way, what version of MacOSX are you running? Older ones may not work.
