Have you tried opening it from the Applications folder? The Dock alias may be corrupt.


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply.

I did try opening from the Applications folder before posting, and that didn't help; ironically, however, I opened it with a link to this discussion thread on the Apple Support sight and it worked. Once opened that way, (from a link), it has been opening from the dock as it used to. Problem solved; thanks!
