I turned my iMac g3 this morning and the screen picture is a little bit bigger than the screen size and when you move the mouse around, if you move it to the left side the screen picture moves a little to the right to fit the whole picture in and the opposite for the right side. I didnt change anything in the preferences and I dont even know whats wrong to fix this problem

If your mouse has a scroll wheel, try holding down the Control key while scrolling down.

There are three choices on controlling the image after scrolling it larger. I don't use the default.

Go into the system preferences to Universal Access, and in the Zoom section, click on Options.

I found the second choice at the bottom, "Only when the pointer reaches an edge," offers much easier control, especially when blowing up YouTube-type vids.

Now that I think about it I do remember that from a whole ago, but I did not know that you could adjust it so easily.
