Hey Chris,

As it turns out, my 'library' folder was hidden! I was able to trash my preferences. Now, however, when I launch Pro Tools, it crashes and automatically displays 5 separate but identical "An unknown executable could not be loaded. Please contact the publisher for support using this service" messages appear.

Here are the first few lines of the crash report:
