Why is my settings tab so small?

User uploaded fileHave been looking like that for about a week now, and restarting the computer doesn't seem to help. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

Hi,

- You may find that the directories: /Library/PreferencePanes and /System/Library/PreferencePanes do not have any files in them at all.

- There should be files in these directories which are of kind "Mac OS X Preference Pane: and end with an extension *.prefPane

With an admin account, check if you can:

- Find them within Time Machine or another backup under the above directories and restore or:

- Check whether they are in the Trash and put them back or:

- Find then on the machine and copy them back to these directories.

See how you go
