Do a clean install of System 7.5.  If you *did* do a clean install, I'd
be inclined to try this:

Boot off your 7.5 installer CD/disc.
Delete the System and Finder files from the System Folder on HD
Re-name the System Folder to something like `Old System Folder'
Install 7.5
Re-boot (as if you had any choice)
Copy any bits you need from the old system folder to the new one
If you're *sure* you've copied everything you need, delete the old
System Folder; if not, compress it or something and leave it hanging
around until you *are* sure.
