I read the following thread from 9 months ago

I think that this is what's been causing my crashes--but I would NEVER have thought to tie it back to my changing desktop pictures!!! However, it must not have been fixed, because it describes my problems TO A T.
I've changed my desktop so that now it just changes once per day (instead of every 5 seconds). We'll see if this solves the problem. If it doesn't, then I'll definitely be e-mailing back in for other suggestions.
