I covered the possibility of these problems in the blog announcement and
discussed how to prevent. However now you have applied without proper
backups, I'm not sure what the exact solution is. I'm looking for a
solution
for you on this.

In case the above link does not work:

Until I can find some solutions, try applying the Apple combo updater.

You might need to download the combo updater from Apple and run it again
rather than using Software Update. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files. Several users have re****ted this fixed some odd
problems they were having with Entourage. Combo updaters will install on
the
same version as they¹re applying‹no need to roll back or do a clean
install.

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update (This update delivers several improvements
for
both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs )
