Finder Not Running

My TiBook 1GHz with 10.2.6 seems to be runing just fine, but something strange has started happening. When ctrl-clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock, it says "Finder Not Running." Also, there's no black triangle below it to indicate that it's running. Logging out/in does nothing. Force-quitting Finder causes it to restart, and THEN it gets the triangle and ctrl-click again displays the open window list.

Anyone else seen this?
 
Nope, just running a few add-ons and haven't seen this until very recently. It's pretty hit-or-miss. I just want to make sure there's no major problem happening.
 
Unless you encounter a major problem, ignore these minor interface inconsistencies. If you know the Finder is running because you can use it, then you don't need to care if there's a triangle beneath the Dock icon or not.
 
I bet you are running Unsanity's APE Application manager, and have upgraded to Quicktime 6.3, right?
:)
Quicktime 6.3 is incompatable with the APE Application manager, and causes this. Uninstalling the Unsanity Application manager fixes this issue.

Oh, so THAT'S what it is! I also only noticed this recently and thought it was APE. Must be only since I updated QT to 6.3. I figured it was APE since I disabled it and then everything was fine.

bobw: I only notice this if I log out and then back in. It's fine on the first login after a reboot.
 
I am running WindowShadeX, and yes QT6.3 but haven't seen the problem in a few days.

Seeing that Apple makes the 'whole widget', I would suggest that it is APE that is incompatible with QuickTime, not the other way around.
