Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet on this forum, for those of us still using Snow Leopard, there is a growing number of reports that the latest security update hoses Rosetta. See the Snow Leopard forum elsewhere in the Apple Support Communities as well as http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 5,1 6-core 24 GB 5870 27" LED ACD
Thinking it was benign, I installed it.
Rosetta stuff such as Quicken 2007 crashes pretty spectacularly when quitting.
Time to find the backups.
Thanks for the "Heads up!"
Since I didn't install the Security Update, I didn't lose Rosetta, so I haven't tried the following, but in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3704759?answerId=17484448022#17484448022 there is a discussion of a possible solution. The Google translation of the referenced link here: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.macbidouille.com%2Fin dex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D354758%26st%3D60&tl=en suggests it's an easy fix, at least if you've got a backup or Time Machine backup. Again, I haven't tried this so use at your own risk, but it sure looks easier than reinstalling Snow Leopard.
I opted to re-install. 40 minutes after starting from 10.6.3 Installer I has 10.6.3 in place, used software update and manually downloaded the 10.6.8 combo updater, and I was back in business in about an hour and a half.
Security Update (Snow Leopard) 2012-001 version 1.0 is still being offered, and i see no new articles on the subject.
... and it turns out, re-installing did NOT fix the problem for Quicken 2007.
I looked at those other articles, and noted that the framework they called out had just been modied by the re-Install, so there is a diffferent problem than the Word 2004 problem.
I did the update and aside from a slow wakeup everything works. Word 2004 which runs under rosetta is working fine.
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 .
Sorry to hear about the problems.
Does Printing work as well?
Yes it does.
I have a brother laser printer which is set up as a network printer.
This is my computer by the way.
And I am using an Apple Airport Extreme wireless connection.

As an update, maybe with good news, Software Update now shows a version 1.1 of the Security Update. As of right now, there does not yet seem to be an updated version on Apple's support website. Since I didn't install the original, I don't know if 1.1 would be offered by Software Update as a fix if the original was installed. And I'm sure not going to try 1.1 to see if the original issue was fixed.😉
I thought I got away without problems.
I can now open word dreate a document but I can not save it and word then hangs up.
Has anyone tried 1.1 to see what it does.
I am using Word 2004 which runs under Rosetta.
I have downloaded and installed the latest update 1.1 and everything looks good so far. Time will tell.

Update: it's now here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1489 too.
I reinstalled Snow Leopard X.6.0 to fix the surity update problem, but when I tried to update using the OS X.6.8 combo upgrade, I got a message saying my volume did not "meet the requirements" for the upgrade. I'm stuck at X.6.0, not good enough for later applications. The same thing happened on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro. Why the problem with the upgrade and is there a workaround?

Paul Silverman-
There are several different updates with almost the exact same names. Or possibly yours was damaged in transit. I am pretty sure this is the one you want:
