Have you tried resetting the overscan for both graphics and text in Prefs?  I have had simmilar experiences more than once, but it was not something I could not fix with the monitor settings (depends on the monitor, and I have no experience w/1960), or with the Prefs/overscan settings.

Always try the simplest things first, they usually work.

Well, I will work on the above suggestions. I tried the overscan stuff and it did not help. I have fiddled enough with it to get workbench system: partition window looking better and in some cases I just make the window smaller.... the idea that the new drive got it's stuff copied onto the original drive files is upsetting but not impossible. If I got distracted enough to copy right to left instead of left to right in opus it could have happened.

One thing is probably significant: I cannot seem to make the background change in any of the windows. I went into MUI and got it's window to change appearances, but when I go into Prefs and try to change the appearance of the other windows nothing seems to happen. I get the same bland grey background. I suspect that since the original drive was the one in the machine at Atlantis/Philips their original setup was screwy. As I scroll thru the various directories I find Dopus in about three locations, MUI in a couple of locations and numerous directories called "Old" with backups of the 'S' directory. They clearly were not very methodical and probably had only a slight understanding of the Amiga OS. At least that's what it looks like.


Sounds like a clean install is in order at this point to get rid of all the unwanted crap.
