    Hello.

    A log time ago I had my peg2 in a big crt monitor and now its configured to it, I don't have acces to the monitor anymore and I need to change the screenmode to a 1024x768 but I can't see nothing because the mode its "out of range"
    How I can boot in a safe mode to change the screenmode to a one suitable to my small monitor?
    I've tryed to boot from the mos 1.4.5 boot cd but then I can't find the configuration file.

    Please help :P

    Hi Doraemon,


    The easiest way is probably really to boot with a MorphOS boot cd.

    Afterwards change to the partition that you normally use when booting
    from hd.
    Here you should look for Prefs/env-archive/sys/PublicScreen.prefs and
    rename this file (it contains all the defined screen modes for the
    defined monitor).

    Now, when booting from hd MorphOS should fall back to a "sane"
    screenmode (640x480 or so).

    Selecting/defining a new monitor and new screenmodes should be no
    problem afterwards.


    Bye HAK
