iTunes artwork screensaver crashes Sysprefs

[dr fletch]

I discovered the ultra-cool iTunes artwork option in the screensaver in System Preferences. Unfortunately, it crashes the System Prefs. every time I select it.

Quit the Systemprefs and than you should try flushing your SystemPreference Cache:

~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache

Thanks - tried it but it didn't remedy the situation.

ok. let's see what else we can do:

Try also deleting the following files:
~/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Switch to the Byhost Folder in
~/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost

Drag a file that starts with com.apple.screensaver... to the trash.

Be sure that SystemPreferences aren't open while you remove the files.

Good luck!

Thanks dernightdj. I had the same problem.
It is enough to delete com.apple.screensaver.iTunesArtwork.*.plist.
