When I try to open TextEdit, it shows a Problem Report saying that it quit unexpectedly and just won't open. Hasn't anyone experienced that before? Any tip on how to fix it, please?

Press and hold the shift key while launching TextEdit. That will prevent it from reloading its last saved execution state, and should allow it to open normally.
