How do I find files that Hardy tells me are missing and install them?

[ozguitarplayer]

Hey,
Hardy Heron tells me when I try to open certain applications that files are missing, (mostly kcm)
How do I find and install missing files?

...is it possible to do this?

Have you already tried reinstalling the applications you're having trouble with through Synaptic?

[ozguitarplayer]

yes I have tried that..

You can also try this instead of trying to reinstall all of the packages manually. Found it here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto

To fix broken packages

Choose Edit > Fix Broken Packages from the menu.

Choose Apply Marked Changes from the Edit menu or press Ctrl + P.

Confirm the summary of changes and click Apply.
