hi folks , first time so be gentle:)
im trying to open my sys preferences but all i get is "it may be damaged or incomplete" ive done nothing i know to cause this just randomly appeared!
ive tried booting in safe mode and re-start also moved com.apple.prefpanes.cache,com.app.prefpane.sea...and sys.pref.plist to the desktop and done a re-start in a vain hope but still the same :Confused:
any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may have to add "Other" 3rd party items, if you had these before, use re-install for them
