Hi, sounds like a problem with the Finder perhaps. Try quitting the Finder and see if that helps.
BTW, if you have Bookends, you don't need Reference Miner any more. It's built in (called Internet Search) and is a actually much more capable than Reference Miner is.
Internet Search... I got check it out right away! I haven't had the time to thoroughly read the manual or use a lot of time to find out (by myself) how Bookends works.
I found out that the downloads of RM was somehow not completed. So, I tried a couple of times and succeded in dowloadning all data. However, looking forward to use IS instead.
