Hi Keith,

Thanks for that information. Looks like a link somehow to the latest
update!! I have noticed that  almost everytime there is an Apple Security
Update someone encounters a problem.

This reminds me that I did not follow Peter H's advice to turn off all
firewire devices before doing an update. Wonder if that was the cause? I
have three firewire devices - 2 external drives and a CD/DVD burner.

I hope I do not have to reinstall the OS. In the many years I have used
Macintosh computers I have never had to reinstall the OS - maybe pure luck
and maybe this luck is running out? Ouch .....

Kind regards and good luck. I'll post a solution once someone comes up with
one.
