Keeps randomly relaunching itself. I tried rebooting. I notice because every 30 seconds or so, the icons on the desktop disappear and reappear. Anyone else having this issue? I have the following theories - I am being followed by some 3 letter agency, and they are systematically trying to drive me insane by killing my finder repeatedly. - Google drive is **** something up. - A prerelease dropbox is **** something up. - Something is **** up because I deleted a bunch of large cache files(?) - GEESUS? Help pl0x? OSX Lion latest version. |

Since you're talking about pre-release software, I'd look there first. Google Drive would have similarly been installed recently, so that too is a viable option. I know that on Windows, Dropbox will stop and restart Explorer whenever it is installed. I can't remember if it did that or not on my Mac, but it is a possibility. Try to disable Dropbox / Google Drive / other items in the Login Items preference pane, and perhaps you can diagnose it from there. |

Dropbox's cache files, or cache files from elsewhere? Dropbox cache files are generally safe to delete. Others, it's hard to say. Either way, it sounds like you know when the issue started, and have an idea of what could be causing it. It's just some troubleshooting / trial and error on your part to find out what exactly is giving you problems. |

(Don't really care though). |
