[QUOTE="Discerptor, post: 322446, member: 12177"] Given your description, it seems this is a user-specific problem and not a system-wide one, so you shouldn't need to do something nearly so intimidating as the last suggestion if I'm correct on this. I would delete the folder ~/Library/Preferences and then restart the computer. That will reset your personal preferences to the default for all apps and stuff, including OS X. Hopefully this will get your screen settings back to where they should be. Note: Clicking "Go" in the Finder menu bar and clicking "Go to folder," then typing in ~/Library/ should take you to the folder the Preferences folder is inside. Alternatively, you can navigate with the Finder windows by clicking on Home, going inside the Library folder, and looking for the Preferences folder inside there to delete. Try this and tell us if it works. That said, after every system update you should spotlight "Disk Utility" and run "Repair Permissions" on your hard drive, as a precaution. [/QUOTE]
