Basically what that crash is saying is that it can't load the XPC we
use to communicate with Growl. The reason for this is an invalid code
signature, which due to the nature of the App Store shouldn't be the
case on first install certainly. There are a couple of possible
causes, messing around inside the bundle could mess with its code
signature, or it might be a corrupt install, which could be caused by
a variety of things. Probably the simplest thing to test is to try to
uninstall/reinstall hardwaregrowler from the app store. If you still
have issues, we can investigate further.

I see. In a non-techy sort of way (^_^)
I actually tried deleting and reinstalling HardwareGrowler as I wrote at the start of this topic, and it didn't improve things...
Would uninstalling and then reinstalling both Growl and HardwareGrowler at the same time help?

Odd, ok, its very unlikely Growl has anything to do with this, another
thing to try is a repair permissions.

Just to add to the strangeness, everything suddenly works now!
I guess after enough restarts, the installations of 2 days ago and yesterday finally fixed something, so now everything works. Thanks for listening anyway!

Thanks very much for asking!
Things were OK for a while, then I noticed last Sunday HardwareGrowler was playing up again and shut it down. I just started it up and it seems OK right now, fingers crossed.
As it turns out, Growl also seems to have buggered up (^_^).
Now I'm getting a whole lot of whatever the attached file (GrowlLauncher) says.
Any help appreciated!
