Hi,
When I open System Preferences I get a blank, white rectangle where they would normally appear with nothing in it - no Icons, no text and also when I click on the menu at the top, the drop down appears as a white rectangle but with nothing in the menu. Strange thing is that I can use the menu to actually do things so the functionality is there just not able to see it.

Anyone able to suggest something please?

isolate the plist file

look for com.apple.systempreferences.plist
in ~/Library/Preferences (~ = your Home Folder)

Move the file to the Desktop.
Now start up System Preferences. This will make a new, default plist file.
How's that looking now?
