If restarting Finder does not solve the problem, try restarting your computer.
If restarting Finder & your computer does not help, try emptying the system caches. Mimoco reccomends using maintenence software such as Onyx to do so. Free download available at http://www.titanium.free.fr/

/Library/Caches

Move their contents to the Recycle Bin, empty the Recycle Bin, then restart your machine.
