Can I reinstall my OS (10.6.8) without losing installed apps like PhotoShop? [View all]
I have an iMac running Snow Leopard that now hangs very late in the start up but will start up in Safe mode. I have backed up all data. Tried the less drastic stuff and now am up to the option to reinstall the OS. I have browsed all kinds of forums and apple support but nothing tells me clearly whether reinstalling the OS will kill 3rd party apps.
Thanks for any help.
