quick look restarts help?

Thanks for the quick reply, yep I have tried that, in fact I just did it again as am desperate to fix it:) but no still the same problem. I tried reseting the finder.plist today that didn't help either. the search continues.

You did make me think if it was account based however, so to try a different account so I logged into the guest account but again the same problem remains so I presume that means it's a system thing.

Thanks again for the reply,

Don't have Perian or Flip4mac.

Console always shows scary errors:) here is what I can see with a search for quick in console..I've omitted my username with xxx, I think the rest is safe to post.

I use a lot of plugin components yes, not sure why quicklook find guitar rig but I doubt that affects anything, used the same version for years.

Thanks for the reply, yep done this one too, in fact I tried that again this morning as well.

hmm Not sure how an AU component can affect anything but I'll try anything right now lol
