Keyboard and Mouse won´t load

[yoak]

I just got a new classic MBP 2.5 and I have one problem.
When in System preferences and and try to open "Keyboard and Mouse", it just says; Loading Keyboard and Mouse. Then nothing happens and System Preferences freezes and i have to quit and re-open it to use it.

Everything else in there works fine.
I´ve tried to repair permissions as well

Have you tried deleting the cache file?

~/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache

 

[yoak]

No. Thanks, I´ll try that

 

[yoak]

Thanks again, that did the trick

No problem, glad it worked

I'm having the same problem. Why does that cache file exist and will anything happen if I delete it. Thanks for the help. Mine isn't a new macbook pro but the 2.4 macbook pro that was released a few months before the recent update. I did however just recently do a fresh erase and re-install of leopard. Thanks for the help.

Hi Phatskis (twintip as well?)
The problem re-occured just now.
I have the same MBP as you, just faster CPU.

Now I tried to delete the files again, but it keeps happening.
I can´t do a clean re-install right now as I need a new HD to do a full back up.
It seems that the cache files ends up outside the cache folder, could this cause the problem?

Yes, I like my skis fat and with turned up tails.

I found this thread on a apple support page. Here's the link:

I haven't had time to try any of the suggestions, but they look helpful. Any one else have any solutions for this problem?
