Hey gang, Last night while looking at some pictures, I decided to increase resoutuion on my monitor to millions of colors in the control panel. Bad idea....my monitor has crazy lines going across it and I can't even view the screen to switch it back. But, if I boot up using my other hard drive the problem goes away. I'm really not sure what to do since I've never run into this before. I'm using a PM 7300 with 9.2.2 installed.
Option 1- try resetting the pram.
Option 2, a long shot, but it helped me before. Disconnect the monitor and restart your system without a monitor. Once the system has started up (you can tell by the HD access stopping), shut down the system - power key to "bring up" the shutdown dialog, then return to confirm that you want to shut down. Reattach the monitor and try restarting.
As an FYI, your original e-mail is dated 8/27/56 indicating you either reset your pram already or your pram battery is dead. If you did not reset the pram, then you need to replace the battery.
If Option 2 does not work, you can boot with your working system and try trashing the 'Monitors Preferences' document in the one with the bad display issue.
