[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1358107, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. That's a strange error. Usually, if the System Preferences application is corrupt or missing, none of the preferences will be available. Try this: Reboot your machine and see if you can access the General preference pane. If not, do this... reboot and hold down your option key. Select the Recovery Partition to boot from. After the machine boots to Recovery, select Disk Utility. From the Disk Utility dialog box, select "Repair Permissions". It may take awhile to finish. Reboot back to normal mode. And don't worry about the permission statements from the system. [/QUOTE]
