Hi guys,
I'm not an expert on OS X, however recently I've been trying to spend more time with the system to learn and possibly switch from W7.
The weirdest thing happened last night. I'm was trying to uninstall istat 3.0 from my system and it froze( the beach ball ). After force quiting it, i tried to start Word but the icon would only keep on bouncing and stop after a minute. No error message no nothing.
I was sure it's an issue with Office itself, but no other software is starting. Mental Case, UnrarX, Excel, even Ponyvid, just bounce their icon around for 30-40 seconds and wont start.
The only software that works are Apple's own Safari, Mail, Calendar , iPhoto and iTunes. They start normally with no fuss.
I tried restarting and even creating another user account, and it didn't help.
Is it possible that istat 3.0 blew something in the system? If so, what can it be? Anybody had this kind of situation before? Any fix on hand?
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance

Maybe you can revert your system to a point in time just before you attempted to uninstall/remove iStat using Time Machine?

It was a new system install ( less than 3 days old), therefore no Time Machine backup yet...

How where you uninstalling iStat?
Weird thing happened
