Thanks guys, its been pissing me right off.

Hello. I have a problem in that I have some pictures allocated to songs that are completely wrong. How do you remove pictures?

I agree, I thought there may be a simple fix for this but it looks like there is not. I will do a clean install as soon as I find something to backup all my stuff onto. Thanks for all your help everyone.

I tried the new user account and although the screensaver and desktop prefs dont crash the system is continually accessing the hd and wont start finder?

Ok, I removed all but the mac os x standard savers and it didn't work, I tried a new account and although it had trouble starting the finder the desktop ss prefs seemed to work. So what do I do now to fix it in my account?

Thanks for the reply. I have a G4 imac with 512 ram and a geforce fx2 video card. Its one of the first lcd imacs so it runs at 700mhz. I have tried to remove all the screensavers from the prefs folder but it still crashes. Another weird thing is that the picture I have stuck as the desktop is no...

Im going to bump this because its really starting to piss me off. Date/Time: 2004-08-01 11:14:57 +0100 OS Version: 10.3.2 (Build 7D24) Report Version: 2 Command: System Preferences Path: /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences Version: 2.2 (2.2)...

very strangely I managed to click on a screen-saver for the couple of secs it was open for and it successfully changed.

hey. In 10.3.4 I had the same fps problem with macmame and UT2003. I switched to 10.3.2 and it sorted it out, but I for some reason cant get into desktop/screensaver prefs without it crashing.

the permissions dont make a difference, I have repaired them but no change. I think some of my system may be lost as when I reinstalled it did not ask for disc 2.

Ok running 10.3.2 and I still cant get thr prefs for desktop etc to stay open, I get 2 secs of the options then it crashes. What else can I do?

Its not the fish I tried that. I have repaired the permissions and that does'nt seem to help. U think 3.2 would be ok? Its strange the problem I had with 3.4 I dont think anyone else has had it. Its in the bug report popup that all the txt is from. Thanks for the tips.

I just reinstalled panther because I was getting graphical problems with 10.3.4 im just on 10.3 now, but when I try to change screensaver or desktop I get this. Mac OS X Version 10.3 (Build 7B85) 2004-07-29 15:22:02 +0100 I'm in the main function diagappDialogBase::setProperty(...

Bugger I cant get into change screensaver or desktop it just quits?

Well this is strange. I re installed panther so now im just running 10.3 and the problem is gone!?! Only thing was I lost some of my system in the process, I had to reinstall stuffit and my modem driver and some others. Is there any harm in running this OS?

Thanks. Yours is the same as mine other than the two things I get popping up every 15 secs. Anyone know what they are?

Thanks guys. No my desktop pic dosent change. Is this not a normal situation then? Should there be no big spikes in the cpu usage? I have been watching but when the spike happens the numbers at the bottom show that the cpu is 100% used up but there does not seem to be anything showing up in the...

I have noticed a huge spike in activity monitor when checking the cpu. It causes all graphics applications like games etc to slow down every 15 seconds or so. Only problem is I cant seem to see it in the list of actions. I know its a long shot but can anybody give me some tips on how to...
