The cause of my problems... Overcrowded desktop! I simply took everything off the desktop that was not necessary and put it into a single folder. OSX does not like a lot of junk on the desktop. This has happened to me several times as I just drop a lot of stuff there (like dragging pictures of the net etc.). Anywhat, I hope that this proves helpful to others that tend to be slobs er, ah, I mean... well you know..
