"Choose a Finder Item" window keeps popping up
This issue started several months ago on my Mac Pro. Yesterday my new MacBook Pro arrived. I transferred all my apps, settings, and files from my Mac Pro to the MacBook Pro. The problem followed me to my new computer.
Here's the issue:
Any time a new file is saved to my computer, about 10 seconds later a Finder window pops up saying "Choose a Finder Item". I can then click the "cancel" button and it will go away. If I highlight a file in that window and click the "choose" button, the window goes away but nothing else happens (that file doesn't open up).
I just tested saving new files in several applications and got the "Choose a Finder Item" each time. The applications I tested are TextWrangler, Pages, Numbers, Dreamweaver, Firefox (downloaded an mp3 file from a website), and Thunderbird (downloaded an attachment from an email).
I also just purchased a song from the iTunes store, but did not get the "Choose a Finder Item" window. I also downloaded a bunch of podcasts and didn't get that window.
