Control Dock??

Control Dock?? Software 9 posts Aug 12, 2010 — Aug 12, 2010
Can someone please tell me how to put the pull out tab dock in system 7.5? It is just the control panel looking one with the monitor, sound ect. that I am looking for. I have seen it in numerous pictures and can't seem to figure where or how to go about getting it.

It looks like the one shown here: http://www.macintoshgarden.org/games/risk-deluxe

Thanks,

That's called the Control Strip. You'll have to switch it on in the Extensions Manager - I think there's both an extension and a control panel. Then reboot. If it's not in EM, it's probably not installed.

Also, it's only included in System 7.5 or later (unless you have a PowerBook 500-series, in which case, it came with the copy of 7.1 that came with those machines.)

Control Strip huh? Hmmm, I can't find it though anywhere. Do you think because it was in a school they deleted the extension? Is there anyway to get just that extension? Or would I have to reinstall 7.5.3 which is what I am currently running.

*Update* Ok, I used tomeviewer and put the extension into the control panel. Any ideas why it would give me this message when I try to open it "The control panel "Control Strip" cannot be used with this Macintosh." It is a LCIII with system 7.5.3, from what I thought the control strip was used... Anyone???

You might have the PowerBook-only version.

What do I do in that case, how do I find out?

You probably need a newer version of Control Strip, such as the one that came with System 7.5.3.
