Hi,

I have just realised that my 'Accounts' prefs pane is missing from the 'system' section of system prefs. I also have a duplicate 'Internet' pane in the bottom row, alongside Tinkertool and DejaVu.

If I log in as root all is fine.

I have seen this before but can't remember what the problem was.

Can someone remind me?

Thanks

I am not in front of my Mac right now, but all you have to do is to delete you system preferences cache.
I had the problem once, and it drove me mad until I found the solution.
The fact that you can log in as root and have no problems is a sign that the cache files you must delete may be in your (user) library folder.

I also don´t remember if you have to log out for the trick to work. For sure, you should not delete those files with your system preferences app open.

Nai no Kami,

Perfect! That hit the spot.

Many thanks
