Your preferences are corrupted. Try running the Mac OS X 10.4.8 combo update from Apple''s website.

Or clear your caches using e.g. Onyx or some other maintenance app (or by hand if you like).

I updated and it's still the same.

Clear your caches. That is (probably) the problem.

FYI, in the future you should put operating system questions in the Mac OS X forum.

Anyhow, this question has been asked (and answered) probably 10 times now in the OS X forum. I brought the most recent thread about it (from a week ago) to the front and made it sticky. It contains the solution.
