Close all open apps but the Finder.
Move the Preferences folder for your user.
Take prefs one-by-one from that into a new Preferences folder at the old location:
~/Library/Preferences
Here is the catch, only move prefs files you know you need (Safari, Adobe apps, etc)... DON'T move prefs relating to the system unless absolutely needed.
After doing this, reboot for ensure a clean re-creation of the preferences. If this doesn't work, one of the prefs you copied back in is the culprit...

My TiBook has recently quit sleeping when I leave it alone. The screen dims and the hard drive spins down, but it never goes to sleep. I checked the Energy Saver pref pane, and it's set to sleep the display at six minutes and the system at 15. Even if I set it to one minute, it doesn't sleep. I also turned off the network administrator access option. I've logged in as a different user and it works, so the problem isn't hardware. This happens when plugged in or on battery. I also tried trashing the System Preferences preferences file, but still the same. Any suggestions short of a reinstall? 500mhz, OSX 10.2.6, 512RAM, 40GB, DHCP AirPort connection to DSL.
