Lately whenever I am attempting to empty my trash, I get a dialog box "preparing to empty the trash..." and then hangs there, finder becomes unresponsive. When I restart the computer, if I attempt to empy again, it deletes as it normally would (Instantaneously). I have repaired permissions and it didn't work. HELP ME

the Machine is a 12" PB, 1.25 gb ram, 1.5 GHz, I dont know it it makes a difference, but I am using the machine in clamshell mode w/ external lcd, mouse, and keyboard.

Thanks,

Chris

Could someone please help, cause I'm tired of having to hold the power button 'till it shuts off just to un-stick it.

Hi,
I've had this problem too. It's quite easy to solve, the way I've found is to kill and relaunch Finder, you just have to choose Apple Menu > Force Quit, than a list appears with your running applications, select Finder and press the button Relaunch. The other way to open the applications's list is holding down the Command and Option keys and press Esc.
