Strange Issue, Corrupted file, garbled image, affects all other files

Ok, this is a very strange problem. We are using CS2, and work in Photoshop every day. A few days ago while working in a certain file, after performing certain simple operations (resizing, cropping, etc) the entire image became... it's hard to describe... garbled and really screwed up looking. And then almost anything I do in any other files will cause the image to become very screwed up.

So, here are some symptoms:
- I can work in some files fine, doing whatever, and nothing gets garbled. Let's call these "Good" files
- There are "Bad" files, that are become garbled up when I perform simple operations on them such as image resizing
- After a "Bad" file has been opened and garbled up, even the "Good" files will become garbled if I do anything to them in that session of using photoshop (but they would still be "Good" if I were to close photoshop and reopen it, without reopening the "Bad" files)
- I have tried many many things, such as reinstalling CS2, wiping the preferences, removing all plugins, defragging, testing RAM, nothing has worked
- If I move one of the "Bad" files to another computer and open it, it has the same effects, getting all garbled up and screwing up other files.

Here are some screenshots that might help describe the problem. This is one of the "Bad" files before doing anything to it:

and here it is after a simple resizing:
w w w . p a l e o s u n . c o m /misc/2_resized.jpg

Has anyone seen this issue before, or have any clue what could fix it?
