I keep a Folder on every Mac's DeskTop with 3-4 fresh Finders, which I 
have copied from the OS install disk.

The first reaction to any startup problem is to drag the System Finder 
-as well as the Finder Preferences to the Trash, drag a new Finder from 
the Folder into the System and restart. Usually causes the problem to be 
solved.

 Can't say that you will have the same positive results in this 
instance, but it is worth a try and it can't hurt. It is also just 
another little Mac tip that needs to get passed around.
