Crazy video problems

[cacoe]

I've tried natit and titan and i get the same problem with both.

 

I open dashboard, drag out a new widget and it kinda pauses. then finder restarts and all the apps that were open are killed.

 

I swear it has something to do with the animated wave effect thats supposed to happen when you pull one out (core image?). I also have problems with aperture, it does the same thing when I open a photo to edit. On the other hand, I have downloaded a coreimage based image editor, and that works fine so I really don't know what the cause of this is.

 

I'm using an nVidia geForce 7600gt 256mb AGP

 

currently on 10.4.8, sse2.

 

Any ideas PLEEEEEASE?

 

Thanks.

 

[update] turns out CoreFoundation is crashing. Here is a snippet from the crash log:

If there isn't a solution to this problem, I wouldn't mind knowing what the cause may be if you have any info...

 

Thanks.
