my girlfriends emac was giving her lots of grey screen
necessary restart screens... as well as a host of other
problems that she thought were "normal" being a prior
windows user...
so i figured i would help her out and save here stuff and
do a clean install of panther... well the install went ok but
the screen is only in the middle maybe 8" of the screen...
theres like a 2-3" black boarder around the usable screen
area...
after installation the computer wouldnt even let us enter
in registration info or .mac mail stuff... you know that stuff...
it told me the resolution was unusable and to go into settings
and change it...
so i go*intø system prefs and display and i get a box that
only has a res of 640 x 480... but behind that box was another
box that only had the 1024 x 768 [i forget]... so i selected to
have the display pref up in the top bar... and i click on that
and there is a listing for a "main display" at 1024 x 768 and
"display 2" at 640 x 480...
theres no display 2... this is just an emac...
i know the screen itself works because the apple splash screen
fills the whole screen white witht he grey apple... also right before
i did the install i was transfering her data to my firewire drive and
the screen was ok...
all i did was try to install panther...
can anyone help me/her out???
thanks.
