After using the App Store to update from 10.8.3 to the current 10.8.4, I can no longer open System Preference or some of my other vital apps. I repaired permissions after disovering this issue as well as rebooting several times. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), 2.5Ghz i5 | 16GB DDR3 | Intel 4000
OS X 10.8.4 has damaged some applications. Reinstall 10.8.4 with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659
The Combo installer reduces the risk of damage Mac OS X and it allows you to install this update in a lot of Macs with a single download. If the Combo installer doesn't work, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X

Downloading the Combo installer, if this does not resolve my issue and I am forced to reinstall OS X, will it format my existing data?
