I'm not really clued up on the underlying stuff that could be causing your problem, but have you tried things like creating a new user account to see if the problem still happens there? If it does, I reckon something broke in your upgrade - if you have a spare external HDD to do an install on (or a backup of your current install) I would suggest a clean install to see if that fixes it.
On a reread of your initial mail you talk of saving images/videos and trying to view them with Preview - are you only referring to files that you are saving out of Entourage, or could they have come from anywhere like being downloaded using Safari/Firefox, or being copied from another computer with e.g. a USB stick? It shouldn't be too hard to gradually diagnose where the problem lies, given enough resources!
