System Prefs keeps generating a crash/error report when it opens.

I am not talking about an individual pane within Sys Prefs, this is before I get the chance to select any of the individual preference options.

This happens as soon as Sys prefs app is launched.

An error report / crash report is generated before the System Prefs window even opens

I have tried deleting ALL plist files..I first started deleting just a few likely ones,,then moved the whole lot out of Library and deleted the Preferences folder within Library.

I tried creating a new user..still the same crash.

I think i have ruled out hardware faults..I swapped HDD's and did a fresh install of ML on the new HDD and no crashes.

There does to seem to be any other instances of this error that I can find.

Anyone got any ideas

OH ..Snow Leopard 10.6.8..latest updates on Mac Pro 3.0ghz Twin Quad core, 18 g RAM.
No recent hardware changes
