^^^this is how it looks like

I can only see the System Preference window when i hit the Spaces icon in the Dock

I basically had 6 spaces & had System Preference window stetted to open in the 6th Space, but after installing a program called 'DockSpaces' i was down to 4 spaces

i uninstalled it but still.....


so now i cannot access System Preference in anyway, it's just stuck in Spaces

Any kind of help would be AWESOME (^_^)

The only way i think this could be solved is through terminal.app. Although i don't know if it is possible and i certainly don't know the commands!

Ouch, that's a weird one.

Have you tried just disabling Spaces entirely until you can get control of that window? I can't see how that wouldn't work.

Alternately, you could delete its preference file (com.apple.systempreferences.plist) from ~/Library/Preferences (that is, your user one)--it stores the remembered window location (and probably not much else). Not sure if that is where the Space it belongs to is stored, though, so that might not fix it.

hmm...i would die just to know a way to stop this...

i can not access other programs as well which were set to open in 5th & 6th Spaces

they are all just stuck between Spaces *FRUSTRATED*

I can not disable Spaces because i can't access System Preference
is there another way to disable Spaces??

i deleted the (com.apple.systempreferences.plist)
didn't work (>..<")

If you quit the program (right click dock icon, choose close) and reopen, does it work?

Also, have you restarted the computer since uninstalling that program?

Nope, quitting & restarting the app(s) does not work

Yes, i have restarted like 3-4 times

Got it working **Like OMFSM** XD lol

i figured out that the dock/Dashboard & Spaces/Expose processes are linked
so i deleted the { com.apple.dock.plist } file & restarted
YESH!! XO

(Path:- Home-->Library-->Preference-->com.apple.dock.plist)
