Bizarre Bundle error in Desktop & Screen Saver

[mac4drew]

My grandma is having a little problem with her Screensavers. We are not able to select any screensaver other than Flurry. When I go to another one, Flurry continues to display in the preview box. When I click on an iPhoto album to do a slideshow screensaver, it displays an error box that reads:

Can't load screen saver
Screen saver "[name of album]" did not load properly.
Please select another screen saver.

Error: Can't load bundle

here's a picture of the error box, even though I doubt it will be helpful...
also notice the weird CHOOSE_FOLDER which has also appeared out of nowhere.

The other interesting thing it does now is to gray out the Change picture: option at the bottom of the Desktop pane, for all of her iPhoto albums, but not for the standard Apple sets. Here's a picture of that:

I already tried resetting PRAM and trashing plists for Desktop, System Preferences, and Screen Saver, which did nothing except reset the desktop picture back to Aqua Blue.

I really am at a loss, I have no idea what's wrong with this but I'm hoping there's something I'm just overlooking here... don't think it's very likely that she's deleted the screensavers but that certainly is what it looks like... does anyone have any idea what this is?

as far as the change picture box, it's supposed to be like that. you can't do that for iPhoto pics. i think it has to be a folder

getting the same screensaver error

I have tried to move the screensavers to a different folder and made a new folder to see if they would load also, but am getting the same error message. i have a mac agp graphics with the original video card, am waiting on my upgraded 128mb video card. i even tried downloading a new screensaver but no luck. i will try again with the new video card, maybe that is the issue.

I've got the same issue on one of my machines. It's recently been upgraded to Leopard, I can't recall if I'd tried this under Tiger so unclear as to when it started.

It doesn't look like this is a widespread problem as that error message doesn't come up often. Anybody have any ideas?

I'm half thinking about blowing away the current installation and starting with a fresh install (it's that Microsoft Windows conditioning...!)

Desktop and screensaver pref. icon problems

Anyone seen this before? When the icon is opened, the desktop tab freezes up - ultimately I can't change my desktop or screensaver which is annoying!

Any ideas will be appreciated.
