right-clicking causing FInder crash

Restart and see what happens.

Hi,

How many problems have you had with this new Macbook? Seems like there is always something.

s.

I have this problem too. Usually when left clicking to highlight the file, then right clicking really fast to bring up the menu.

Started up this morning and still the same old crash. As I said, it's only with hard drive icon. All other desktop icons are okay. It has nothing to do with the speed of clicking. I select it and then even wait for a few seconds. Right-clicking guarantees a Finder crash. I booted off of install disk to verify the disk. All is okay there. I ran maintenance scripts with Onyx. Deleted the Finder preferences. I can't decipher the Finder Crash log. If any one can, I will post it. Like I said in an earlier post, these MacBooks tend to have more issues that I had anticipated. Nothing major- just annoying. I'm sure they'll be worked out with Leopard (?).

I blieve I narrowed down the source of the FInder crash. I had a suspicion it ws with a contextual menu item. Not sure what one yet, but I dragged all of them out of the folder, relogged in and all is fine. Now to figure out which one it is.

Found the culprit. It the FinderBrowser item I installed to view images. Users beware. It wasn't my MacBook at all.

I just followed your lead..and went to delete all contextual menu items, but when I went to the folder, the only item that was there was "StuffItCM.plugin", deleted and now it runs awesome.
