OS X Mavericks: Finder closes and restarts

Since the last update (the last i-Books update I think), the Finder closes and re-starts almost every one minute...

This wasn't happening at the first 10 days that I had Mavericks installed. I have already ran the "Repair Permissions" from the Disk Utility, but not thourgh the recovery mode though.


It is so annoying.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Hi Guys


I really need urgent help! I am in Africa delivering a presentation for the next few days and my 2011 MBP has just started doing the finder thing! I cannot find anyway to stop it. I do not have google drive and no matter what, it keeps doing it - making my presentation useless due to the flicking back every 15 seconds.


Luckily, in safe mode it does not do it, so I know I can get tomorrow out of the way!


Is there a fix for this highly frustrating problem?
