Two Thoughts:
A. Boot in to Safe Mode:
Try booting in to Safe Mode [Hold Down the Shift Key upon boot]. In Safe Mode, only necessary items load (i.e. the caches), and new preferences are set aside.
B. Try a New Administrator User:
What happens when you create a new administrator user? Do you stop getting this error? If so, then it is something configured in you current user. Delete this current administrator, when desired.
