Any way to fix a broken finder? (PB1 to DP)

I just did by reinstalling Yosemite, restart CMD+R, then install OS X. Works like a charm. Also did and upgrade from pb1 to dp6 and had a non working finder.
Edit: I didn't have any finder add ons installed so I guess the PB1 to DP6 isn't optimal...

How did you reinstall it (I'm new to OS X) ? You mean just click on the package file again?
Check your build number in About This Mac. It should be 14A329f for DP6. When I reinstalled Yosemite using the recovery tools, it installed PB1.
You could try PB1 to DP5 to DP6. With the exception of a harmless bug with the address bar in Safari, that path worked perfectly fine for me.
The only danger is not knowing if any small little bugs that pop up as a result of this unorthodox update method will ever be squashed without a full reinstall.
I had the same issue until I downgraded back to PB1, then updated to DP5, and then DP6. Now Finder works again.
I read this too late
I'm in the process of a one hour and a half of the machine restoration.
Fair enough! Hope it works out for you!
