My Computer (PowerMac G5 OS X 10.4 / OS X 10.4.6) is behaving very strangely. The Samsung Digital Sync-Master display 'floats' and 'moves' together with the movements of my mouse in all directions. The only way I can describe it is that it looks as if everything on the display has 'lost its anchor'. Text and icons have grown very large and the visual quality is awful; Changing the definition does nothing. I have run the extended (nearly two hours) Hardware Diagnostics: No problem was found. I have run the (First Aid) Permissions/Disc repair, restarted the Mac, un-plugged and re-plugged the Mac from/to the electricity outlet. Then, un-plugged and re-plugged the Digital display, switched to an Analogue display,the same thing happens with the Analogue Display. Moving to trash all the recently installed software didn't help either. I am desperate and please need 'dummy style' step-by-step instructions. Please can anyone help me? Sally |

Hit Command+Option+8 and see if it stops. This is just the first thing I can think of for right now. I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can. They're - Their - There | Two - Too - To | You're - Your | MAC - Mac I was on the M-F honor roll for October, 2006.

This is a utility for people with bad eye sight that allows them to zoom in on the display. You turn it on/off with Command+Option+8 and zoom in/out with Command+Option+(plus)/(minus). Welcome to the Forums! :mac: I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can. They're - Their - There | Two - Too - To | You're - Your | MAC - Mac I was on the M-F honor roll for October, 2006.
