Who needs to install the AppleVision Software Fix?
--------------------------------------------------
If you have an AppleVision Display and you have problems after installing the System 7.5 Update 2.0, you should install the AppleVision Software Fix. This software fixes such problems as:
- When you press the buttons on the front of the display, you see a message that says "No AppleVision Display is connected."
- You have a Power Macintosh 7200 and can't find the Monitors & Sound control panel in the Control Panels folder.
- The Monitors & Sound control panel does not have Geometry, Color, and Monitor Sound buttons. (Note: The Monitor Sound button appears only if you have an AV monitor.)
- You can't change the resolution of the AppleVision Display or you can't open the AppleVision Setup control panel.
- Macintosh Guide does not contain information on the AppleVision Software or Display.
