Yesterday I suddenly stopped being able to open any applications from the 
buttons in my home stack.  I had just installed Suitcase II and set it to
access some of my favorite fonts; then I tried out how it worked from the
home stack and was able to open applications--but only one time apiece.
I thought everything was fine, but the next time I tried each application
a dialog box appeared telling me that the application was busy or damaged.
The applications still open normally by themselves, as do documents created
with them.  

I have exhausted my list of things to try--trashing and recopying
(System, Finder, DAhandler, Hypercard, Home, various applications,...),
removing Suitcase II, checking for viruses (nothing in the Gatekeeper 
v 1.1.1 Log file, scanning with both VirusDetective 4.0.3, and
Disinfectant 1.8--the Disinfectant 2.4 that I recived today says its
infected and won't work, rebuilding the Desktop, and other smaller
strategies.)

Can anyone suggest something else I might try?  I would be grateful for 
some advice.
