Something gives me the feeling 4.1.3 was not quite ready for prime time.

I will file a bug report with Cisco on this issue. In the meantime you can do the following as a workaround: - Open Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility - Select the partition Mac OS is installed on - Click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button Hope that helps, Eric J.
