From: totalrule on 15 Jan 2006 07:23 I own an imac special edition 30 GB 500 bought new 2000. The problem I have now is that on the screen in the background there seems to be a shadow "browser" which fills up 95% of the screen. Because of this everything on the screen except the edges of it (5%) becomes discolored (yellowish) and much darker. This background "browser" or what the heck it is, is very unclear, but it looks like there is a horizontal menu bar on that shadow or ghost "browser". In the far left of that top horizontal menu I think I can see the apple logo. What the heck is happening? How do I fix this? Is my screen saying goodbye? Thanks in advance.

The behavior of this feature is activated by the function keys or by moving the cursor in the corner of your desktop.

(It is always in the background and discolors 95% of the screen. I've been stuck with it for weeks now.)

It might help a little if we knew what version of the Mac OS you're running so we could separate software effects from hardware effects. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF
