Logic Pro 8 launch error

My O/S was corrupted so we installed it again, now Logic pro 8 files won't open & I get this error message

'This version of Logic Pro requires Pro Application Support 4.0 (687.0) or newer ProKit: 591.0'

Any idea what I can do ?

Macbookpro 2.33 Intel, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Thanks Bill, Logic launches but now I don't have any plug ins available & existing ones have a crack thru. Any ideas ?

Strange, Are there no plug-ins?

Can you launch the AU manager, and if so what's in there.

Are the plug-ins for some reason unchecked?

FTR: If you've done a full system re-install, your third party plug-ins will probably all need re-installing.

No plug ins including logic ones ! No AU manager, can't create audio tracks, looks like I might need to save the whole drive, wipe the disk, then reinstall O/S again, then all software/plug ins, unless you can suggest another way ?

Just reinstall Logic 8 from the original disks , no need to wipe the drive.

FTR: You can't just instal the app by itself, it won't work and half the things it needs to run properly won't be available.

It needs to be done from a proper Logic 8 installation disk.

Thanks again. The installation disk I have is an upgrade (V.1). Should I bin the existing logic app & what about the audio content ?
