If anyone experiences force close messages and errors with newly updated programs and ROMs try clearing out data for that peticular program. Its pretty easy to do. First press the multiline options button next to the home key while you are at any of your homescreen and chose settings then scroll down to applications. On the applications page you can choose where you want the app. If its messing up choose clear data or cache. If they are both selectable try both. If the app is on the sdcard move it to the phone and vice versa. Another thing you can try is uninstall and download from the market again. Sometimes an app doesn't clear out properly when you update and either the extra data or cache may conflict and crash. Please note that clearing data out will clear out saved settings and other personal stuff in the app but that's better than it not working at all.
