You know, it's strange that you have all this trouble. I'm running Jaguar 10.2.1 with Entourage v X, and it's as stable as Gibraltar. Never crashes on me any more. Have you really exhausted all the possible trouble-shooting tips, like deleting all the preference files? (That's usually what keeps Entourage from even starting up.) Or, move all the files out of your user identity for Entourage, and start fresh; if the problem is with the database, that will let you get the program started up...
