I need to get System Preferences out of the trash but my drag and drop function isn't working?
I'm using OS X Leopard 10.5.8.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, try dragging it out in Safe Mode, reboot when it completes.
