Hello,

I have a MacBook 2.16 GHz 2G ram OS X 10.4.11. I had a power failure at my apartment and tried ejecting a mounted DVD. The DVD did not eject and I had the spinning wheel on Firefox and Word. I did a forced shutdown, when my MacBook restarted the entire screen now moves as I move the mouse. For example if I move the pointer to the left the entire screen moves to the right, move the mouse to the right the entire screen moves to the left, mouse moves up and down direct the screen in the opposite direction as well. This is happening in all applications and on every open window. It is making me carsick.

I have checked all known settings and cannot figure what is wrong. I restarted and zapped the PRAM, and restarted in Safe Boot Mode. Short of installing the OS again, I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem? It is driving me crazy.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Great. Probably Zoom selected and has self corrected. And you can't ask too many questions - that is the ONLY way we humans learn.
