Finder constantly need stimulus, freezes (Macbook pro running with the Mavericks)

I have a macbook pro running on 10.9.5 Mavericks. I got it for a few years? Pretty smooth sailing, touch wood, except for a few days every time I try to use the finder it freezes and the screen gets corrupted look (so; it's like a picture of me trying to access my applications folder).

If I use force quit to make finder restart, it will work for the first couple items, I try to find, and then do it again. I tried to delete the plist finder and reboot, but no dice. Is there something I can do?

Wow, never heard of that before. Beautiful new computer, too.

Try to connect as a guest (or any other user account) and see if the same thing happens.

  • If you do not have an active guest account (you would see on your login screen), open system preferences and go to users and groups.
  • Click on the padlock at the bottom on the left and enter your admin password.
  • Under the section other users to the left of the window, click Guest user.
  • Check "Allow guests to connect to this computer."
  • For ease of use, click Connection Options at the bottom and check "see the fast user switching menu under...". "The option is not serious.

Click on your username at the top, next to the Spotlight search, and select guest user. Find out if the Finder is doing the same thing... then you can log on to the guest user account and return to your current account.
