Power Macintosh: Generic System, Finder & Enabler Icons (5/95)


I rebuilt my desktop and then I noticed that icons for the System, the Finder, and the PowerPC Enabler files in my new Power Macintosh 8100/110 are generic in appearance. Everything seems to work fine and rebuilding the desktop again did not resolve the problem.

What can I do to restore the proper icons?

Problem
-------
This is a cosmetic issue involving the system software which affects the Power Macintosh 6100/66, 7100/80, 8100/100, and 8100/110 computers. Even with the generic icons, the computers are fully functional, and the issue causes no damage to the system software.


Solution
---------
Install the System 7.5 Update 1.0 to correct the issue.
