Q: Logic Express 7.0.1 crashing on startup in 10.6.8

I just upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 because my OS7 iPad wasn't recognized by the older iTunes/OS.

Now, I'm unablle to open LE7. As  I need to export my tracks in LE to itunes to my iPad, I have a serious problem. The iPad and iTunes are nw compatible, but useless since I'm unable to open LE. I'm ugrading my computer in about 7 months, so I'm looking for a quick and short term solution.

I've sent the crash report to Apple but don't know if that will achieve anything. I don't want to pay to upgrade LE as I'll be getting the new Logic in 7 months on the new computer. Can anyone help please?
