Kernel Panic

Since the last update (2 or 3 days ago) my Mini has been hard-crashing (kernel panic, forcing me to shut down) at least once a day. I haven't had a hard-crash like this in probably a year or more. The last update included iTunes 10.2.1, Safari 5.0.4, and Java for Mac 10.6 Update 4.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

I had the same issue with Elmedia Player. I never liked it to begin with, and now I really hate it after suffering 3 days of crashing.


Here's how I had to resolve:


1) Browse to your applications folder - Delete Elmedia Player

2) Browse to the following location and delete this file - System/Library/Extensions/ElmediaPlayer.kext

3) Browse to the following location and delete this file - username/Library/LaunchAgents/com.eltima.ElmediaPlayer.plist
