[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1041990, member: 46727"] The /Library/PreferencePanes folder is there for installation of those applications which install a Preference Pane under the "Other" heading. If it's missing or was accidentally deleted, you will not be able to install apps which need to place information there. You can try to create another one: Navigate to System/Library/ and open its folder. Right click on an empty space and select new folder. Name the new folder PreferencesPanes. Note: You'll have to reinstall any apps that place information in the PreferencesPanes folder. You might also have to repair permissions. Regards. [/QUOTE]
