After the blackouts, I lost some system files which I wasn't able to to restore
them from lost+found. Here's one of the major problems I am encountered....

        I try to run Preferences to set the date and time, it works flawlessly
for all othe modules like mouse, keyboard, screen,...,etc. But when I picked 
the clock, it poped out an ALERT panel and said "That section could not be 
loaded." I checked the file mode of Preferences which is:

-rwsr-sr-x  1 root      249180 Feb 26  1991 Preferences*

        So, it wasn't disabled at all. I bet it was caused by some missing
system file(s) that is needed to load the date/time module. Besides I am 
running in a stand alone station, I used to be able to set the system time 
from any user; now the missing section could not be loaded even in the root.

        Does anyone know what the missing section is?
