Murray, Your tip would have been especially relevant for me except that in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General I have always set the option to allow all apps. So at first blush, your tip does not apply. But as you can tell from the other thread, my experience suggests that maybe security issues are playing a part for me.
I am using OSX 10.7.5, btw.
