There is not definitely any link betwen my experience and the 10.3.9 update. It could be just coincidence. I am reporting it, in case any pattern emerges amongst users,as an update could cause these kinds of problems. I think that is one of the purposes of a user List like this. If I am the only person with the problem, it is unlikely to be related to the update that I just ran. This is my conclusion, in fact, based on the input so far. Trevor
