[QUOTE="jham, post: 1062507, member: 159060"] To get to the Display preference pane as bobtomay suggests without being able to see anything, try control-clicking on the desktop, select "change desktop background". You'll have to navigate to the phantom screen and guess to drag the main preference pane over. Use the pane open on your external monitor as a guide. Just go directly left (or right) of the top for a few inches of mouse movement and click-drag. Alternatively, if you had screen-sharing already set up, you could just VNC in and control it from there. [/QUOTE]
