I'm very much a Cocoa newbie, so I hope it's ok to post newbie questions here. If not, I'll happily take suggestions on where to go. On to my problem. I'm working on my first Cocoa application "from scratch". It's a simple image viewer, doesn't do anything really complex. However, when I try to run it from a standard user account [on both PPC and Intel], it crashes on startup. As an admin [again on both PPC and Intel], it works perfectly.

It started happening after I added preferences, but I'm not sure if that's what's causing it as I pretty much just adapted what was in Aaron Hillegass's Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X [2nd Ed.]. As an admin, it's writing the user defaults to ~/Library/Preferences as it should, so I don't think it's a permissions issue [could be wrong of course]. I'm sure that's hardly enough information to diagnose the problem, but I'm not really sure where to start looking. I've got the crash log, but I can't for the life of me decipher it. I've also Googled everything I could think of and not found anything. Any guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated.

How about attaching just the stack trace portion of the crash log. That should at least give some starting clues...

Sure thing. Not sure exactly which part is the stack trace, but I assume this is what we're looking for? This is from the log on an Intel machine.
