WinUAE Workbench Display Issue

See if you can get to the early boot menu or use a boot disk/adf to get to the shell and see if it allows you to run:

sys : prefs/screenmode
...      ^^
remove the spaces

Also from the shell if the above doesnt work try going to Prefs/Envarc/Sys and rename the existing screenmode.prefs to .bak :-)

Thanks for the reply; I've had some joy. Trying to launch Workbench off a floppy and running the Screenmodes prefs does nothing. Literally. It just flashes the "Attempting to load..." message then nothing.

I renamed the Screenmodes and Overscan prefs files and the screen area is now the normal size. It's still stuck on the tiny resolution however and I can't see the Use or Save buttons.

Is there anyway of editing the .prefs file manually? I know it's not a text file, it appears to be some sort of IFF?

What resolution are you wanting to use?
