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 :(

I've found the problem to the Chooser icon being a blank document, it's a bug in the US version of 8.1, it's fixed by altering code withn ResEdit or similar applications, the Chooser icon is fine now! Neil
