I tried to reply but the mail bounced.

Here's what I found using the 'System Errors' DA:

        -605  appMemFullErr     application SIZE not big enough for launch

My guess is that you need to do a 'Get Info' on the program(s) that are
not launching, and increase the amount of memory the programs ask for
when they run.
