Richard, The only time this happens to me is when I browse folders that are on a remote disk, e.g.: mounted via SFTP. It says Finder Busy for a few seconds when I open big folders.
If this is happening to you all the time, you might be using a defective HD. Would be good to hear other opinions on the matter… Emrah On Jan 9, 2012, at 11:05 PM, Richard Ring wrote: > I am writing this message because I am extremely perplexed and frustrated.
