    My iMac screen resolution only has a problem with the admin account. When I log in as a guest account - the resolution is as it should be at 1680 x 1050 - but when the admin account is logged in, that same resolution - 1680 x 1050 is slightly expanded by the screen size. I can click on the edges of the screen and bring back the menus to do what I need to do. Looking for thoughts how to bring screen res back into register.

    thanks

    Have you tried a PRAM reset.

    Sounds like you might have Universal Access's Zoom feature turned on and the display is zoomed in a bit. Press Command + Option + - (minus) to zoom back out.
