The same thing happens to me once or twice a day. At first I thought it was a plugin stack I created to open at startup, but most of the time removing that stack did not make any difference. I too have been keeping a copy of the disk image along with my registration number and simply reinstall frequently.
I will try the revpreferences technique next time this happens. Macintosh OS 10.3.4 Strangely, this has not happened on my powerbook where I have (I think) an identical Revolution installation. Differences are that the desktop machine is a dual G5 and the PowerBook is a G4 and, perhaps the PowerBook has an earlier version of OS X. It may happen sometimes after I have another strange problem. A stack with destroyStack set to true is closed. Some time later it is reopened by a script. A dialogue comes up saying a stack with the same name is open and asking me if I want to purge, etc. No matter what btn I press it goes into a continuous cycle. Sometimes the cycle stops with cmd-. I quit and when I reopen Revolution I believe it hangs. However, that clearly is not the only time it hangs on starting. When it hangs I don't have to force quit, since it quits on cmd-q.
