The one you attached isn't particularly hard to decipher. It's telling 
you that the com.apple.driver.ApplePMU preference file is corrupted. 
Locate the file and trash it.

For good measure, you might want to run "Repair Permissions" from Disk 
Utility after that. That might well solve the problem.

your life better." -- Glenn McDonald
