You obviously have system X on there somewhere aswell as 9 and Nortons
doesn't like this. It is not a prob though.
You didn't need to reinstall your system soft. You probably have (now don't
groel me down) a lot of your extensions enabled which don't need to be.
Nortons didn't need to fix the formentioned problem, because it actually
isn't a problem. You probably also had a couple of thousand 'creation date'
type errors come up also. This seems to happen when running Nortees also.
I have actually deleted my whole system X off of my HD until, it is actually
usefull, which will be sometime I imagine.
As the guys said, there software does not effect the system, so it may be an
unfortunate coincidence that things went awal wheb they did. but we all need
to be carefull when poking blame at companies on this and other lists.
Because nine times in ten, problems are due to an oversight from a users
perspective. 
Cheers and good luck. :-)

Just for the record (this applies to all Mac users), you need Norton 
Utilities v6.0 or higher if you have OSX installed. I'm using v7.0 at 
present.

v5.0 will return all kinds of errors - if you "fix" them, you may 
cause more harm than good.

Right....let's get back to the EXS24....

  Is there a definitive list of extensions needed for Logic?

I recommend keeping X and 9 on separate partitions. It solves problems 
like the above, and if you're regularly switching between the OS's, you 
can hold down option a startup to pick a boot partition. I usually keep 
a 9 partition on my OS X volume to use in Classic mode so the partition 
I boot 9 from for my audio stuff doesn't get boogered with any X stuff.

AFAIK, the following post from guru John Pitcairn is about as close as
we'll get. Thanks John! :-)

********************************************

Some notes on turning extensions off, in addition to the list Barb posted:

AppleScriptLib - Logic Help needs this, it's safe to leave it on.

QuickTime* - Leave this on - Logic needs it to display plugin editors graphically.

Quicktime Powerplug - ditto

Plus: Move all the contents of the "Quicktime Extensions" sub-folder out
into the main Extensions folder - then you can use Extensions Manager to
turn 'em all off EXCEPT "Quicktime Image" - then  "Quicktime Streaming"
won't throw an error at startup due to Open Transport not running...

You can also safely turn off:

	-Shared Library Manager
	-Shared Library Manager PPC
	-SOM Objects for MacOS

The scheme being that Logic doesn't actually need ANY extensions or
control panels running, apart from those required by your sound/video
hardware, and any required by your particular Apple hardware (ie 
Altivec, USB, Firewire etc).

So by way of example, here's my ultra-minimum set for working with Mac
AV, Digidesign direct i/o, and Logic...

-------------------------------------------------

Control Panels:

- Energy Saver (set to never sleep the drives)
- ixView control (controls for my primary video card)
- Sound

Extensions:

- Apple Audio Extension
- Apple CD/DVD driver
- Apple Guide
- ApplescriptLib

- ATI driver update
- ATI graphics accelerator
- ATI MPP manager
- ATI resource manager (drivers for my 2nd video card, an old ATI)

- Digisystem init (for the digidesign AMIII audio card)
- Foreign file access (to read audio CDs)
- G3/G4 cache profiler init (cache enabler for my G3 accelerator card)

- ix3D driver update
- ix3D video memory manager (drivers for my primary video card)

- Quicktime
- Quicktime Powerplug
- Quicktime Image

- Sound Manager

---------------------------------------------------

That's it. Doesn't allow for 3rd-party softsynths, rewire, OMS, etc.
I've found the best way to set up a minimal set for Logic is to turn
EVERYTHING off except really basic video/audio, see what stops  working
properly and/or complains about missing bits, then turn things back on
one-by-one until everything is functioning correctly (duplicate your
standard, working set in the Extensions Manager  first, so you don't
mess it up irretrievably).

This is on a Umax S900 clone running MacOS 9.0.4. Note if you use USB,
Firewire, a G4 or G4MP, you'll probably need some USB, Firewire, Altivec
extensions etc turned on as well.
