How to uninstall/reinstall iMovie

Thanks for the reply, yes, I did try to repair the permissions, in fact I have run permission repair three times now and when I get home I'll see if it needs to be run again since it seems to come up with additional issues each time I run it, suggesting to me that there are layered permission problems. Whether that has anything to do with the current iMovie issue or not has yet to be proven.

In regard to your reply to Irb07 about Quicktime, I have not received the same error messages about QT, however the update that I installed contained updates to several packages, iMovie and Quicktime were two of them.

So far none of my permission repairing has made a difference in iMovie, it still doesn't work although it will partially load. I'll keep repairing and see what happens, but in case that doesn't work...

Is there a way to actually uninstall and then reinstall iMovie? iLife came packaged on the OEM Tiger disc set with my machine, but it does not appear to allow me to selectively install specific programs, nor does it allow me to remove any.

Can this be done?

Thanks.

Thank you, that does look like it will solve the problem of selectively reinstalling iMovie. Now my question is:

How do you selectively Delete iMovie? I am assuming that dragging it from Applications into the trash is too simple to actually work.
