Snow Leopard Folder Compression???

JavaWizKid · Nov 25, 2009, 04:59 PM

When I right click a folder and select "Compress", it goes to about 99% and stalls... Doesn't budge, no beachball, it just doesn't move forever. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2, anyone else having this issue? I did a clean install.
Thanks.

Mine is fine:
Usual stuff:
Restart your Mac.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Download and install the 10.6.2. Combo updater over your 10.6.2. install.

I'm having the same issue, but only with a particular folder which has about 50 files in it. The status bar moves right along, then freezes at about the 90% point. No beachball, no message... I've tried letting it sit for quite some time, too.
