Hi, im having problems with my system preferences!
When i click on system prefs nothing happens!! :S its very strange! i cannot get into them to change anything! also, i cannot find the start up disks that came with the computer! its a imac g5. If i need the disks to fix this problem is there anyway i can get copies?
Thanks,
Tasha
 
First DON'T PANIC ! (this is joke)

Resetting any mac program is really easy. Just navigate to the folder /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/. In that Preferences folder find the file (for System Preferences) com.apple.systempreferences.plist and drag that file to your Trash Can that is in your Dock on the far right side. Then relaunch System Preferences and it should be reset to almost normal.

By delete a program's Preference file will reset that program almost back to the way it was at the first install launch. This is a very old trick in mac to reset a program.

Good luck.
 
thanks for your help but i put it in the trash but it still will not work! :S
