Right, I installed soem program on my imac g5 to make the screen have a bigger resolution, for example like where in windows yo can just move the* mouse and it will scroll the screen kinda thing, BUT its now in 16bit color a huge resolution and unworkable, is there any way to reset to native resolution outside osx?

thanks


Jake

EDIT: I can get to the files on the HDD incase the resolution can be set altering a system file. I have another install of osx on a partition.

Can't you change it in System Prefs > Displays?
