My System Preference don't work

[Dukebasketball]

When I try to click System Preference on the dock and this thing comes up "You can't open the application System Preferences because it may be damaged or incomplete." is there anyway I can fix it?

I'm no expert but I think reinstalling OSX would be the only way to resolve that!

You might be able to extract System Preferences from your OS disc using Pacifist - a (free?) download.
