Item #3

The first thing that I would do is create a new user on the system, log 
in as the new user, and see if the problem goes away.  If it does, the 
problem is a corrupted user preferences file.  You can use dragster to 
reset your user preferences files.

Item #6 has a step by step diagnostic test for corrupted user preferences.
