Sunanda, If possible try a couple of things: 1/ Ensure that the file permissions are correct. Was this IDV installed by one user and run by another? 2/ Try installing the IDV again especially after the OS upgrade. It could be that the installation is corrupt. Make sure you are installing the OS X version. Keep us up-to-date on your progress.
