Nice site...I'm new to this forum but an old dual platform user, hope I can help out but also hope someone can help me with this strange issue.
System: 10.3.9 on Dual 1.25Ghz G4 1GB RAM
Issue: I have a user that while logged into her Mac (Active Directory plugin with our corporate network) her finder will stop responding when opening certain folders. She double-clicks the folder, it opens, but then hangs showing none of the contents even though it states X items. This is happening with folders on a network server (AppleShare IP 6) or a local copy of the folder (no issues during the copying process).
Weirdness: The user can view and access all contents of the folder using the command line (i.e. Terminal) This tells me that the files are there, working, not hidden (using ls without switches).
Attempts to remedy but failed:
-Full OS Rebuild (backup user data, format drive, reinstall from CD, etc)
-Disk Utility Permissions Repair
-Onyx 1.5 to run all system maintenance scripts
-Reset permissions manually on the folder
Any ideas on what could be causing this? My gut is telling me that something is messed up with this users AD account and I may need to look at recreating that as well as purging her existing account from OS X. Thanks in advance for any info that can help me out.
