It sounds like a problem with the system color picker. Do any other (non-GS) programs have this problem?

You may need to repair/reinstall the system.

I remember once we had someone with his AC crashing when selecting the Tools menu. It turned out to be a graphics card problem.
Just an idea.

We're currently running the GForce 9200, 128mb card, it's not bad but wasn't installed properly. It would blur slighlyt in 2d and anything more complex than the orchard project in 3d (from the examples folder) would bomb out. Could be the graphics card, could be you need to try a reinstall on your AC.
