Seems like I'm not the only one experiencing problems with new version. Uploaded 3.5.8 yesterday and when I launch the program, it freezes when it gets to "launching core components".
I have run Norton on my disk to make sure nothing was corrupted on install and then even uploaded the beta 3.6 version and am having the same problem. The worst of it is I re-installed my old 3.5.7 version and I cannot get that to launch either.
This is a big problem. I have no access to the network.

Sorry to hear of the troubles. Here's a link that dicusses a number of workarounds others have tried--hope one will fit your situation. (I'd guess the safe boot******* user fsck might be your best bet--post back if you need links for those).

I just checked http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n120244 to see if Apple has posted a fix--none yet.
