I have to applaud Apple for including an important update for Flash. Personally, I keep up to date with it, and upgrade it myself.
However, the Mac should be easy to use. Mac users should not have to worry about security flaws and Flash, and they should not have to worry about upgrading it (even though it is third party software).
Good work, Apple.
Front-Row update:
(1) Movie trailers fixed
(2) Shuffle songs logo (sparks)
(3) Issue when coming out of certain sections (should still be in Front-Row) but you immediately appear unexpectedly back at the desktop and you are no longer in Front-Row. (I thought this issue might have been ironed out after the update, but no luck) Feedback, feedback, feedback!
I was half way through the security update when I shut the computer, forgetting that I was installing updates. So I restarted when the other updates were installed, but the security update had an error.
After restart, I installed the security update again, but now, every time I start it up it freezes. A real life genuine freeze (except my cursor moves), I haven't had one for a while. OS X starts up and I'm able to use the finder for a few seconds. During those few seconds I was able to command option escape and relaunch the finder, finder quit and started to reopen, as the menu bar was half way through the process of appearing, it froze again! So, whatever it is, it's not an issue with finder.
Now, I'm in my windows partition looking for a way to fix this.
Oh yah, I've got an Apple Hardware Test cd here that won't start up when I hold C, I don't know why. It's for an eMac, but I thought it should work. Boot Camp doesn't recognize it either.
Hopefully this is something screwy with my machine and not the result of the security update. (I wouldn't think that it was)
DeaPeaJay, I believe you have to press down the U key to do the hardware test? Not 100% certain, but I think it's different to the C key.
Here's what I recommend that you do... Get your Tiger or system restore CD or DVD, start up from it with the C key, and than restore your operating system. Your data won't be affected.
That should get you back up and running.

I'm away visiting my sister, and I don't have my Tiger discs. I used their Panther install disc, but no matter what i do I can't get the system to start up from the cd.
A few weeks ago I ran disc utility from my tiger disc and it showed up in Boot Camp. None of the cds I've tried booting from have done that.
I'll try that U key though, thanks.
