preferences crashing

[bigginge]

I recently reinstalled Panther as my finder had corrupted. All's well now, but when I open keyboard and mouse in preferences and click on keyboard shortcuts I get the beachball. This also happens if I try to do a software update in prefences. Any ideas.

Go to the Utility folder and open Disk Utility. Click on the second disk icon at the left, then click on repair permissions.
