How do I reset Preview?

Preview crashes everytime I launch the program or right-click to "open with" preview for any type of file. I clear all the program caches using Onyx. I repaired the permissions and still the Preview App is just not working. Its kind of hard to do anything in OSX without Preview. Any ideas anyone?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Try going into your preferences and move this file to the trash com.apple.Preview.plist, then give it a try.

To get to your preferences you need to be in the finder then hold down the option key while clicking on the go menu item then select library>preferences.
