Unable to fix Messages app crashing issue after upgrading to macOS 15.4.1

I upgraded to 15.4.1 today and my Messages app will no longer stay open. It's quit/poof/gone every time I go look. I've done a restart (both of the app and of the whole computer) and also synced with iCloud but it's still crashed dozens of times today since my update. I also can't seem to "search" within iCal anymore.

My imac is at version 12.7.6 Monterey. I don't think it can go any higher since it's a late 2015. But it works fine...except for the Messages app, which just started crashing as it attempts to launch a few days ago. The first time this happened I had opened it without incident earlier in the day. But I have not been able to open it since the first crash. I've sent in a report to Apple each time this occurs. I'd love to know what I can do to make it work, as I use it a lot in my business to transfer messages from clients from my phone to my computer, and this is making certain things really hard to do.
