A fix for a rapidly and repeatedly crashing Finder
Authored by: drubert on Jul 03, '04 01:27:55AM

Thank you for posting - I've been searching everywhere and not finding much.
Unfortunately - the posted solutions are not helping me much.

Here is what I have done.
I have a second machine that I can use to connect to my mucked up machine.
I've removed all files from the desktop.
I had ton's of stuff in the .trash --- I deleted all those.
I booted in single user and ran fsck.
This did show two messages that were similar just with different file#s.
Overlapped extent allocation (file 299234d)
I have no idea what that means - or if it is related.

Here is what is common. (perhaps to find the cause)
I recently did move a large # of files onto the desktop (mame ROMS)

I'm still down!
Any other ideas?
