iChat won't fully load

When I tried to open iChat recently (it had been months since I last ran it) it would bounce a few times on the dock and then close. I read that reinstalling ot from the mac install disc might help.

I dragged the old ichat folder from the Applications screen and found the ichat package on the cd and installed it. Now when I open ichat I can get to the screen where I type my aim details and test my video but when I close that window it freezes (pinwheel) and eventually closes. Perhaps I didn't reinstall everythingn that was needed.. either way, here's what the terminal says..
