Finder sucks up 100% CPU???

[arri]

hi,
since a day or two the finder always consumes all available CPU.
it's seems to be doing nothing really, no harddisk access and no network activity..

anyhone any idea what's happening and how to solve it (apart from reinstalling/upgrading the system etc..) ?

i tried rebooting, resetting powermanager etc..

it only happens in my main account. the guest account doesn't show this behaviour.

osx 10.3.8

thanks

did you also try trashing your /home/Preferences/Library/com.apple.finder.plist file?
What happenes when you close the Finder (using TinkerTools)?

relaunching the finder didn't give any succes..
