This is also a faq. The plist format changed at some point so the new IDE can't read your old prefs. 

The solution was provided by Gary Palter: just trash your IDE prefs at ~/Library/Preferences/com.clozure.Clozure CL-x8664.plist and x8632.plist. No need to get rid of the LSSharedFileList.plists though.
