| Not sure how this is OS X related, but ...
First try moving "finder prefs" and "mac os preferences" out of the System->Preferences folder and restart (move them to your desktop). One of them may have become corrupted somehow.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the paramter RAM, which stores all sorts of esoteric settings -- restart while holding down Command-Option-P-R (all four at once). The machine will restart itself during this process. If you really want to make sure it gets cleared, I've read you should let it cycle twice.
G'luck...
