Snow Leopard Finder temporarily will freeze, generally when I control click on an icon to access 'Open With'. By freeze I mean the control click menu remains open and the mouse can not access anything else. Control + Tab feature not present.
Mac has been fine for years but one day recently this started and continues every session. Eventually it will not un-freeze and machine must be turned off.
Problem exists in Safe Mode.
Does NOT seem to be a hardware problem - this Mac has is dual boot and when booted from another partition the problem does not exist. Also different mouse does not help.
CCleaner run and Disk Warrior, Disk Utility and ClamX (finds malware) can find no problems.
Solution sought! Thanks for reading.
