Pro Tools will no longer make it through launch. It get's to last section of the splash screen and crashes. (Pro Tools Unexpectedly quit)

The Digi003 seems to reset itself every other time or so when the program crashes.

I have tried/checked the following things.

Deleted all prefs files as recommended in the tech note (DAE Prefs, DigiSetup, etc...) empty trash/restart.

No help.

I've attempted to do a reinstall of the PT software starting with version 8.0 and intending to then upgrade back to 8.01. Cannot get new install to stay up long enouhg to enter in Auth Code. It still crashes in the Auth window.

Checked to make sure the Firewire port was disabled in the 'Network' control panel and is so.

This was a well working system for over a year prior to this mac os update.

any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
