Second:
PT is installed on my internal drive, I'm working only from my internal drive, but than the problem occurred. The problem was resolved by booting once from an external drive and than reboot from the internal drive. I'm not booting PT from an external drive. I mentioned this in the beginning of my post, I thought this was clear, the second time I mentioned it. quote "But hear this: after booting from an external drive and than reboot from my internal HD solved the problem"
I'm recording to an external firewire drive. Since I'm working with PT for more than a decade. I'm not a newby.

Kind regards

Just because your system profile shows in your user profile here doesn't mean we automatically see it in a post. You can always put it in your sig file which will show in every post (assuming you have a sig file included in every post). Your first post here didn't have any system info that would help us.

But back to your problem. It sounds like you're having a problem with your internal drive. Do a permissions repair first and then do a verify disk. You may well find verify disk will show errors that you have to run repair disk on. And you can't do that when booted from the internal drive. That's probably why when you booted the computer from an external drive (what did you use - a thumb drive on a USB port?) things ran okay. If you indeed booted from a USB thumb drive how did you make that drive bootable?

Oh yeah - Snow Leopard is NOT OSX 10.8.4; last SL was 10.6.8. What you have is Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.4
