System 7.5: Menu Bar Clock Anomaly After Installation (2/95)


When System 7.5 was installed over the original System 7.1 on my PowerBook 180, I got some strange behavior from the clock. That is, the time and date continuously change with a change delay of about half a second.

We are aware of some Macintosh computers exhibiting this type of problem when System 7.5 is installed on a Macintosh with the SuperClock control panel previously installed.

We recommend disabling SuperClock, or any extension that puts the time/date in the menu bar. The Date & Time control panel offers this type of functionality. As an alternative, you can turn off the Menubar Clock in the Date & Time control panel.
