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

Hi i tried it but it did not help

Try this, go to boot menu "hold both mouse buttons", then select boot with no startup-sequence
then type LOADWB
cancel all errors
then go to PREFS and change your screenmode and save, then reboot

See if it works

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.
