Hi all

I'm using a PPC Performa, 5400/160.

I've just upgraded from the US version of MacOS 8 to 8.1 [also US version],
however, for some strange reason the chooser icon does not appear as it
should [with the two plugs] instead it appears as a blank document with a
hand holding a pen, it was fine on system 7.5.5?

I've tried re-installing system 7.5.5 -> 8.0 -> 8.1 around 10 times, I
rebuilt the desktop both the standard way and with Tech Tool, I've checked
the disk using first aid, repaired it, I've disabled extensions, control
panels, etc. I've done all that I can think of and the Chooser icon stays as
a blank document.

I've deleted the chooser, re-installed it, etc, etc, I've done everything I
can think of and it's still not right - has anyone any ideas on what I could
do to sort this out, all the other icons are fine!

Thanks in advance

Neil
