Mac book pro/Leopard/2.4/4 g
1st symptom:
Finder was locking in middle of previously opened windows
Current problem:
When my husband turns on the computer he can access 2 (one with admin and one w/o) of 3 accounts. When he tries to access the 3rd account (also has admin) he uses most frequently the bar for finder appears on top of the screen and the cursor is just spinning. The other accounts work fine.
We dont have the installation disks with us b/c we are away from home at this time (and will be for a month).
Have tried:
Disabled dashboard
Disabled spotlight from the command line (because from the command line the account is accessible)
Tried to do a replacement of finder with pathfinder using default command on the command line - pathfinder did not seem to start
Trying to replace finder with terminal (now)
Would like to disable DOCK (wondering if it is this that won't load)
Help!
