Hi,

I just noticed today that my Universal Access pane has disappeared !!! The icon is there, but when I select it I get a blank area. What can I do.

btw. It's not that I use it - it would just be nice to have it around. I'm using 10.3.2.

Mine works fine in 10.3.2. Try deleting the prefs for this (or just checking to see if the prefs file is corrupt).

Should be /YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist

Good luck

thank you for your interest in this topic- but I'm having no luck getting Universal Access to function.

Delete also the system preferences cache.
I'm not in fornt of my Mac right now, but I believe it is located at ~/Library/Cache/ and/or /Library/Cache/

You may be also experiencing duplicated prefpanes. Deleting the caches will solve the problem.
Anyway, and just to make sure, go to the System folder (not "System Folder", the one that is used by Classic) and check that the prefpane is there and the dissapearance is not due to accidental deletion.

Good luck!
