When people reported problems like this to us at the store, we always had 
them try a clean startup first.  Disable any programs you run from your 
WBStartup drawer or from your startup-sequence (ARQ, MenuMaster, 
ToolManager, screen blankers, clocks, commodities, _everything_) and try 
again.  This will often solve the problems.  Afterwards you can put stuff 
back one at a time until you find the culprit, which will need to be 
either updated or replaced.

Secondly, that Guru looks suspiciously like one I get with my A3000 
sometimes, usually with old games.  When it happens, I use degrader to 
turn off my cache and privilege errors and give it a second shot.  I 
doubt that it will help (this _is_ LightWave) but what the heck.
