[QUOTE="gemigene, post: 350999, member: 18404"] Hi, Something strange is going on, when I load my System Preferences pane and click on the desktop/Screensaver option, the panel loads but if i click on the Screen Saver tab, select a screensaver, it's not highlighted till I click the time slider. There is no preview, everything freezes, sometimes the "start screen saver text" next to the slider or the slider itself disappears, all buttons are dead and I have to close it by clicking Quit System Preferences from the main menu. Even tough this behaves strangely, I still get whatever screen saver I selected. I tried everything I could think of and read on this forum but to no avail (repaired permissions, tried with a new user account, deleted the preferencepanes.cache and the screensavers plist files, etc.). Also, if I click on the Desktop section first and change the background, everything works well till I click on the Screen Saver tab, it freezes and doesn't go into that part of the pane. Any ideas?
