My finder is buggin And pro tools 3 cant fix it...
The way we use to do it is replace the finder with a new one from the inst. disc. (start up w/sys disc and Just plain drop a new one in the sys folder...)
Now some say its not the best way to do it, we should re-inst. the whole syst.

Any thoughts?

tnx

It is safer to do the clean install thing. One thing you can do is to install a system on a new partition or another drive and copy the finder over.

But it is still safer to do the clean install thing. In fact, you probably need a clean install every so often anyway, to clear out a myriad of things that you may not use anymore and not even know they are there, such as preferences and extensions.

It's also a lot of fun. )

I was having lots of Finder quits and system crashes due to corrupt Finder files. I got temporary relief from lots of odd-ball solutions I read about on MacFixIt, etc. The only thing that REALLY worked was to reinstall the Finder from the CD. No troubles now.
