Strange problem with System Preferences

[Fiesta]

When I click on anything in my System preferences, short of the Personal icons, they don't do anything. I'll click an icon and then it'll just stay on the system preferences menu. When I click Show All it'll let me go back to the menu and repeat this whole process of clicking and freezing.

Does anyone know what I did? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Clicking anything outside the personal category just keeps the menu, but locks it up, so I have to click show all in order to be able to click anything.

someone, please help me.

This is horrible, it won't even let me use ichat.

Try trashing the com.aoole.systempreferences.plist located in; Users:YOU:Libraryreferences:com.apple.systempreferences.plist

I would also run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility in your Utility folder, then boot off your OS disc and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.
