OpenMind 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Recently I have noticed that the Finder will crash on me if I do a search with the Finder window search box. It also did so when using the Apple-F find search. I repaired permissions and logged out, no luck. It makes no difference if I search my boot drive or switch the search location (Selection, Home, etc.). 10.3.9, all current updates, dual 1.25 G4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WilliamServator 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Well, I guess that your Finder's preferences are corrupt. So the obvious place to start is drag the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist to your desktop, and relaunch Finder.A new preferences file should be created for Finder with out-of-the-box settings. If Finder now behaves itself, reset the preferences the way you had them. Don't forget to write down the name of any servers you use before moving the plist.If there's no change move the file back.(~ = your home folder) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
