Big Display, small screen

antiquepedaler · Dec 22, 2008

I did something to my G4 Power MACs settings with 10.3.9 system so that whenever on line the picture is larger than the screen. I need to reduce the size of the picture so I don't have to scroll left to see the right side of the display. I've looked everywhere but can't find the button. Can anyone help?

try the Displays preferences ( > System Preferences)

I've been thru the display preferences umpteen times to no avail. But thanks for your input.

Otherwise you might have enabled zooming by mistake

 > System Preferences > Universal Access

Thanks, but I tried that too. Zoom is off but problem/display persists.

You can confirm that the problem has nothing to do with your resolution?

try this. hold down apple (command) key + option (alt) key and then press the minus (-) key a few times. If that doesn't try this:

1. Press and hold Apple (command) key and option (alt) key down.
2. While holding those keys down Press the '8' key once time.
3. Now while holding the apple and option key down still, press the minus (-) key a few times.

Did this work?

Boy! That didn't work either! But I appreciate your ideas.
