- Several of the Macs at the place I used to work at will not allow
- rebuilding of the desktop. When you hold down the key combination,
- you get the dialog asking if you want the desktop rebuilt. If you
- answer OK, it starts to do so, then stops with the above error, and
- restarts the system.
- I have been letting this problem go, as all of the machines have been
- working OK (i.e., If it ain't broke, don't fix it). However, after
- optimizing one hard drive, several of the programs don't work, as they
- can not find files they need in the desktop that the optimizer couldn't
- rebuild.
- All machines are running System 6.0.x, where 5<= x <= 7. Most are
- Mac IIcx or si models, with a couple of SE/HD's and one II. Any
- explanation/trial solutions most appreciated. Any sourcebooks that can
- aid a technoflunkie on this type of administration work that can be
- recomended also appreciated.
