Empty Control Center

On SuSE 8.0 KDE 3.1.2 Control Center has suddenly lost track of all modules. The window opens and shows the welcome panel on the right, but the "index" and "search" tabs are empty. The "help" tab reads: "There is no quick help available for the active control module. Click here to read the general Control Center manual." I have not recently updated KDE or any KDE programs. Can anyone offer any suggestions about how to help Control Center recover from this sudden bout of amnesia. TIA Dave -- Registered Linux User #288562 http://counter.li.org
