Earth Explorer Issue With CE Toolbox (5/95)


I found a problem with Earth Explorer. I have a clean system (7.5), with
only QuicKeys 3.0.1 installed. My machine is a Power Macintosh 6100/60 with 8 MB of RAM.

The problem is that after I launch Earth Explorer, and choose a sub-topic from one of the topics on the main menu (such as "Explore" or "Hot Topics"), as soon as it is supposed to "link to Explore/Topics", the computer bongs 3 times and the application quits, completely and immediately.

I have reproduced the problem on a Power Macintosh 8100/100, with 16 MB of
RAM, and noticed that both the CE Toolbox and the QuicKeys Toolbox inits were "greyed out" during the init display at startup.

System 7.5 Update 1.0
---------------------
Installation of the System 7.5 Update 1.0 will resolve this issue. You do not need a new version of QuicKeys.

System 7.5 Only
---------------
If you do not yet have the System 7.5 Update 1.0, but you need to use Earth Explorer right away, try this workaround:

I used the Extensions Manager to turn off the following items, which allowed me to use Earth Explorer successfully after restart:

CEToolbox -- extension
QuicKeys Toolbox -- extension
QuicKeys -- control panel
