Hi Greg,
Thanks for the tips. I'll try them this evening and
let you know what happens.

Hi there
I've also heard you can hold down the 'f' key when booting, this is
supposed to cycle the Mac through all monitor frequencies which the
video hardware can produce. I wish I'd found this out myself before
installing 10.2 on a beige G3 and having it reset the video to some
crazy high frequency. I had to reinstall the OS to get video back :-(
I don't know if this works with all Macs or not.
I'd try hitting the cuda switch and booting from an OS CD also, that
will reset your monitor prefs to a known good, if real low, resolution.
As an aside, real Mac heads don't ever call their computers a PC.
Technically it is true, it is a computer meant for your personal use as
opposed to say, a mainframe from the 70s, but that PC moniker invokes
the 'dark side' of M$ and x86-something Mac heads don't generally like
to touch with their hands ;-) You can just call it by model, PTP225, or
simply a Mac.
FWIW I've got a PTP250 here, its got a 375MHz G3 CPU card in it, and a
64MB ATI Radeon 7000, with 512 megs RAM. It runs OS X Panther, 10.3.9,
really nicely. I'll never look back to Classic if I don't have to-this
OS cures all the things that made me a Mac hatah' for so many years,
coming from an Amiga background..
Good luck
Bolton
