Mac OS 9 scroll bar problem

Posted by: ken27238 on 2011-02-23 10:52:12 I did a clean install of os OS 9.2.2 to get everything working snappy again and it work fine. i got all of they extensions and control panels moved over and i was working for about 10 minutes and I noticed that there were two set of scroll arrows (see picture for what I mean). I restarted without extensions and control panels and the problem is still there. its not effecting anything its just annoying. any ideas?

Posted by: ken27238 on 2011-02-23 16:53:03 I installed smart scroll 1.1 and it did nothing, anyone know of a new version?

Posted by: Byrd on 2011-02-23 17:33:11 Try deleting any preference files that refer to the dual scroll bars - not in front of an OS 9 machine, but delete whatever preference file the control panel refers to for scrolling (eg. Appearance prefs).
