Software Update, not loading preference

[Gig']

Hi

On Macbook 2nd gen with 10.4.11

when trying to use both software update or installer app they do not work.

Through sys pref getting the message : could not load software update preference pane. If I try to start installer app : icon bounce in dock for a few seconds then disappear ?

Can't think of anything that I installed and would create this trouble.

ANy solution other than reinstalling tiger ?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Gig---try Go To Sys.>library>users>you>preferences And Scroll Down Til You Find Systempreferences.plist>drag It To Trash And Restart; New Prefs Will Auto Recreate. Maybe This Will Cure Headache?

Hi Dickster,

thanks for your reply. did the .plist delete trick before posting but no cure furthermore with the installer.app gone dead as well I think an archive and install should set things straight.
