Corrupt screensaver ?

[Can]

Hi there,

Every time i access "System Preferences" -> "Desktop & Screensaver" the system preferences panel crashes and exits.

Every time my screensaver starts the screen just starts fading to black and back over and over and over and over. (The screensaver i use/used is the standard mac screensaver).

It seems like theese files have been corrupted, (!?) So I have a few questions I would love to get some answers on.

- Any permanent fix on this issue?

- Can I set my screensaver / desktop background using the terminal or something like that ? I really want to be abel to set Desktop & Screensaver preferences, so any way I can do this with terminal would be appreciated !

Thanks a lot,
Can

Late edit:
This is what it says in the Console after it crashes:

just go to the screensavers folder in

library>screen savers

and delete all thirdparty screensavers

The folder is empty and I have never downloaded any third party screensavers

Hmmm...strange. This has happened to me before and that was the fix.

Sorry.

I am still looking for some help on this matter.


Any help would be highly appreciated.


I may add that this is what it says in the Console:
