QuickDraw GX 1.1.1: System Crashes at Finder Launch (3/95)


I am experiencing a consistant crash at the Finder launch after installing QuickDraw GX 1.1.1. I have tried removing all of my extensions and nothing has changed.

Start up with Shift key held down. Then remove the Finder Preferences file from the System Folder's Preferences folder.

If you have and know how to use ResEdit or a similar editing program you can just remove all 'sgci' resources from a copy of the Finder Preferences file and replace it. This latter approach preserves all other Finder preferences.
