Hi,  
  
  
  
It looks like the preference files are possibly corrupt for these applications. Try deleting the following files and see if it fixes the problem:  
  
  
  
~/.pvrconfig/Imagination Technologies/com.powerpvr.PVRShaman  
  
~/.pvrconfig/Imagination Technologies/com.powerpvr.PVRTexTool
