system preferences not working

[abarbuito]

I accidentally (somehow) put system preferences in the trashcan and now it doesn't work. I've checked google, but I'm using OS Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and can't find anywhere how to fix it on this OS, anyone have a fix?

I tried the applications disk that comes with the computer as well, but no luck.

Did you already delete System Preferences? If not, right click on it and then click on "Put Back".

I already removed it out of the trash can earlier today. I don't have the option to "Put Back"

The message I'm getting when I try to open it up is "You can't open the application System Preferences because it may be damaged or incomplete."

You should download Pacifist and then try that.

I tried Pacifist as well, I couldn't get it to work either.

Edit: Tried it again with directions and fixed it. Thanks
