Hey guys,

I've recently noticed the icon for speech recognition is messed up on my mac. Any ideas on how to replace this system resource?

maybe deleting the System Preferences Cache could do the trick ? I've read that somewhere on MacThemes' forum.

I cleaned all my cache with onyx and restarted. I'm assuming onyx clears the system prefs cache...

I have found that deleting one file,

com.apple.preferencepanes.cache

that is in the user's

Library/Caches

directory, usually fixes this problem.

Do you have an Intel Mac? And you need to install the CHUD Tools from the Mac OS X DVD for that.

And yes, you can install the CHUD tools from the restore DVD.
