My system preferences window is stuck and won't respond when I click on any of the menu icons. I can't move the window either.
I deleted the com.apple.systempreferences.plist and restarted, but that didn't change anything.
Someone suggested that I migrate all my info to a new user account, but I'd rather that be a last resort.
The sys pref menu works fine on the other user account on my computer.
This started after I made changes to my mouse options. Now my mouse is isn't working right and I can't change the settings back to the default.
I will extremely grateful to anyone who can help me figure this out! Thank you!
In case it will be helpful, I have included the chain of events that led to this problem:
- First, my mouse stopped letting me double-click to select a word or any text. I altered the settings and things just got worse.
-I reset it to default set up and restarted. That didn't change anything.
-I opened the system preferences window again and it was unresponsive. I cannot click on anything. When I click on my mouse icon, a menu appears with a "Remove" option.
-I repaired my disk permissions and restarted. No change.
-I opened the sys pref window and moved it. Then the cursor was stuck to it and as I moved the cursor around, the sys pref window moved with it. I couldn't click on anything anymore and had to do a hard restart. When it came back up, I clicked on restart and waited.
-When I opened the sys pref window again it was stuck on the left side of my screen and only half visible. Since then, I haven't been able to click on it to move it or select anything. I have no idea how I was able to open Mobile Me.
- Deleted sys pref plist and restarted. The window is now in the middle of the screen, but still unresponsive.
-My computer is pretty much unusable until I can solve this. My mouse is so messed up that I can barely use it.
