I posted yesterday a question on where I could find cool dekstop photos and when I finally found some I went to change mine and after clicking on system preferences, when I click on desktop/screensave in 10.3.1 it gives me the unexpected quitting error. The first time I did it I clicked on the photo library button and it was taking a while and then quit and from then on it quits right after it opens.... very annoying!

Anyone know how to solve this problem??

THANK YOU!

There are two approaches to try:

Use disk utility to repair permissions

Trash the preferences file related to desktop pictures
