Help with screen size on Amiga 4000

[lassie]

Hi i made a mistake when i sat my screen size on my 4000. under screen mode i sat it to Euro 36 high res and saved it, i thought it was good, but now when i try to set it back, i can not do it because i can not see the button on workbench and therefor i can not save another screen mode. it is the same with other programs i can not see the button of the screen. Are there somewhere i can set it back to default? and get my normal pal high res screen mode back. I have OS 3.9

i hope i'm right in this solution.

boot no startup sequence,
at the command prompt, type
delete sys:prefs/env-archive/sys/screenmode.prefs

and that will delete the custom setting for screenmode. will force the machine back to the default of pal or ntsc, which ever's your base setting.

---edit---
doh! how do i set it to no smilies?  "sys: prefs/blahblahblah" - without the space

Okay thanks how do i get boot no startup sequence?

Hi i tried it but it did not help

If you can pick another mode under os3.9 but cant see the save button,you can hit the "S" key if i remember correctly. this will save it then you can reboot.

Hi many thanks it worked
