24" iMac - Right clicking crashes Finder

[JoshFink]

Ok.. I'm a windows convert who couldn't get away from my 2 button mouse. I have a logitech wireless where the base plugs into the USB port.

If I'm in finder and I right click anywhere, like to create a new folder and such, finder will crash and restart and I lose my finder window.

Any ideas on how track down what the problem is?

Thanks

Josh

Do you have Stuffit Deluxe installed? There was a problem with its plugin.
Update to the latest version of Stuffit, or just open
/Users/YOUR_ACCOUNT/Library/Contextual Menu Items/ and remove the
"StuffItCM.plugin" file from there. It might help.

Strange... I do have StuffIt installed but I don't have this plugin. Would it be anywhere else?

Thanks

You may also check /Library/Contextual Menu Items.
This plugin is not included in the free StuffIt version, only with StuffIt Deluxe.

Do you have anything in any of the Contextual Menu Items folders - in your home
directory (/Users/YOU/Library/Contextual Menu Items) or the root directory of
your hard drive (/Library/Contextual Menu Items)? Such plugins are common
cause of Finder crashes: when you do a right-click, Finder checks those folders
before opening the contextual menu and launches those plugins. If they
misbehave somehow, they can lead Finder to crash.

Nice... It was in /Library/Contextual Menu Items

I removed it and it works great now.

Thanks for the help
