Intellij will not open project files or create new project files

I recently purchased a license for Intellij 12 but I cannot seem to make a go of it on OSX Mt. Lion. All files in the project have a red J icon and will not open by any means (clicking or drag and drop).

enter image description here

If I try to create a new file like a JavaScript file the dialog stays open and does not create the file.

I have:

I cannot find a problem at all. RubyMine remains functional. Anyone else run into this problem and have an idea on how to correct it?

Certain plug-ins can break IntelliJ IDEA functionality. In this case the problem is caused by the Markdown plug-in that was compiled with JDK 1.7 and targeting JDK 1.7 language level. IDEA runs under JDK 1.6 on Mac, therefore plug-in breaks the IDE (you can find the exceptions in idea.log: Help | Reveal Log in ...).

To fix the problem manually delete the faulty plug-in from ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIdea12 directory. Users of other IntelliJ IDEA Platform based products or running under different OS can refer to this document to find the location of the plugins directory.
