My Finder will not run on my 12" 867 PB. I have restarted and reset the PRAM. When I log in, the Finder appears to be hung w/the beachball spinning. I can open other apps, but have not had luck accessing the internet from Safari.

What now? Any ideas?

not to sound obnoxious, but have you let it run a long time?

alternatively, have you tried repairing the disk and/or permissions?

I let all my computers run a long time. I usually just put them to sleep when I go away.

On the 9th or 10th restart, the finder began to behave. Hmmm, thats weird. I wonder why this happened to begin with.
