How do I fix this? (PICTURE)

[Ozman712]

I just noticed this in my system preferences the other day. I have restarted a few times, but it is still happening. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

If it was me I would run Disk Utility and repair permissions, then restart my Mac.

Is it a picture of your System Preferences? What's the icon on the lower right?

 

[Ozman712]

The icon that is messed up is the Universal access icon. Here is a complete shot of my System Preferences window.

Try trashing:

Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist

I just tried both the repairing my disk permissions and trashing the plist file, but neither worked.

Did you reboot after trashing the plist file?

Get rid of the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache file

(You could just delete everything in the Caches folder in the Library folder that's in your user's home folder.)

That did the trick.

Thanks everyone for all the help.

awesome, thats the same problem i was gonna ask about, except i had it with the speech preferances button. shows that sometimes it does help to search first post later!

EDIT: just so add, it was Mitthrawnuruodo's post on deleting the cache that worked for me, without a restart.
