Logic Pro not starting up

I cannot open up Logic Pro. This is what occurs: I click on the application and the icon bounces for a bit then stops but nothing opens. I have repaired permissions many times. I even installed the 10.6.6 Combo updater (over 1 GB to download.) When I did that, it opened - once. Then I quit the program and back to the old behavior. I re-started the MAC and it opened again, once - then nothing. Now I have tried re-starting a number of times and it will not open again. I guess I could re-install the combo updater but I don't want to have to do that each and every time I want to open up Logic Pro. I have the latest version of Logic Pro - I checked my software updater. Any helpdirectionthings to try - would be greatly appreciated.

2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 16 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

Update: Spotlight seemed to be causing all the problems. This is at least the sixth time in the last 4 years that Spotlight has caused my system to fail in some manner. I have one drive that Spotlight will not index. It starts at 15 minutes when I open it up and the time to finish keeps getting longer and longer instead of the other way around ... until ultimately, it says "estimated time to finish" and gives no estimate. I put this one drive in Privacy and all is well with the world. I'm going to try to add folders back in in groups and see if I can find the offending party.

I hate Spotlight - it has done nothing but cause me problems for years.

. I just updated iTunes the other day.
The only major update.


This MP is doing the same thing, and now twice in the last hour.
You see a pop-up for just a moment, but can't review it when the box disappears before
fully reviewed or screen saved.
Pop-Up reports something about smart drive something issue.
But I do not see this listed about smart drive in console.

Viewed a video sample in 'Quick View', then clicked file to load in iTunes.
As it was loading, it quit before I knew what happened.
Selected movie tab in iTunes, and can't see the movie listed at all.
The list of movies don't show image covers, and don't play.

Select music, and none of the music will play, or load.
Select Finder/Applications to try to use Disc Utility for what ever reason, and
Application list won't load.

Within a moment, spinning ball begins, wait a while, then force it down with start button.
Restart, and it happened again shortly.

The MacPro Install Disc is loaded in the drive tray ready to try a drive test.
On restart with disc loaded, it says to hold 'C'.
Will try this later, if this continues.

It says to do back-up prior.
I have spare drive in bay 3, 1TB.
Would simply grabbing drive one and copy it over to drive 3 adequate.
Or is there a preferred process?

Thanks for any steps that should take place.
These heavier issues need more talent than I have.
Currently using MP at the moment, while stable.
I'll shut him down proper in just a moment, vs locked up forced off.
