I couldn't find com.apple.systemuiserver.plist under ~/Library/Peferences so i had to delete thru the Terminal. System will recreate a new com.apple.systemuiserver.plist but SystemUIServer agent still crashes . I did reboot my system but it didnt help.



sh-3.2# ls com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

com.apple.systemuiserver.plist


sh-3.2# rm com.apple.systemuiserver.plist


sh-3.2# ls com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

ls: com.apple.systemuiserver.plist: No such file or directory


sh-3.2# ls com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

com.apple.systemuiserver.plist


sh-3.2# pwd

/Users/cdou/Library/Preferences


sh-3.2#

My OS menu bar (SystemUIServer.agent ) is keep on crashing
