  Right clicking on an object forces Finder to relaunch – Any Ideas

  Posted by David Dubois on January 29, 2007 at 2:05 pm

  Hi There

  I started up my machine this morning and finder is doing weird things. Whenever I rightclick on an Icon (all except drive icons) finder relaunches itself.
  I have tried my mouse and my wacom pad and it’s the same on both.

  I have also repaired disk permissions for the main drive but it’s still doing it.

  Any ideas what I should try next?

  Thanks in advance for your help!

  Hi,
  I had something similar happening to me a while back, both my mouse and tablet started doing “weird” things.
  I was able to solve it, just by reinstalling the drivers.
  Check the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers.
  Good Luck!

  Just so you know, I got this sorted.

  A guy on Apples forum told me that Stuffit 11 installs a bad context menu item in the library.
  I removed this items and everything went back to how it should have been.

  Hope that helps someone else.
