Final Cut Express Won't open!

Hi there,
I cannot seem to open FCE since installing Snow Leopard. Every time I tried to open FCE - it reads "Final Cut Express quit unexpectdely while using the AviImporter plugin." Can anyone suggest on what to do?

iMac and Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

It sounds as though that plugin could be responsible ..... try removing it.

Thanks for the help. I could not find the plugin in the folder that you specified, but I looked into the Problem details and it stated that it was using the path via Library>Quicktime>Aviimporter7(intel)component. So I decided to remove that onto the desktop and restarted FCE and it worked!

Thanks. (do I trash the plugin that i removed?)

First I apologize if I am asking similar question in this thread but seemed logical.
Apple nubee here and been searching everywhere to see how I can resolve this FCE quitting unexpectedly. The error message seems to be looking for a file that either does not exist or I cannot find it:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/ProFX.framework/Versions/A/ProFX
Referenced from: /Applications/Final Cut Express.app/Contents/MacOS/Final Cut Express
Reason: image not found
I appreciate any help anyone can provide. Here's my system profile:
I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.2 snow leopard.
