Hi Guys,

I am new here and it seems like a great forum. Just bought my first PowerMac and I instantly got a problem in the OS 10.3.6. Whenever I "get info" on a folder the finder gets stuck with the spinning wheel and I have to go to the terminal to kill the process. Has anybody else had this problem? It is obviously very annoying and before I reinstall, I just wanted to check if some one might know what it is.

Thanks

you could have fixed the permissions (go to the disk Utility, select the boot volume, and fix permissions)

that usually solves a lot of theis weird problems...

if you've re-installed then I suppose the problem is gone, correct?
