"Energy Saver" doesn't load

So, I tried going into the Energy Saver preference pane to change some settings, and it never loads. It just says "Loading Energy Saver". Everything else loads just fine (including all my 32-bit panes).

I really need to get this working :\. My laptop likes to attempt to sleep after a while, and since sleep doesn't work, everything freezes @ a black screen.

Maybe there's a way to edit these settings from in a plist or something?

Field Note #1 @DocShadow 2009-08-28

Do you have both ... SleepEnabler + NullCPUPowerManagement in E/E?

Author Update #2 @BeSweeet 2009-08-28 ↳ Re: @DocShadow

No. I got rid of SleepEnabler since it only made my laptop go to sleep for 3 seconds.

I do have the NullCPU kext. Should I just add SleepEnabler again? I'll probably do that. It didn't hurt when I had it installed...
