Hi,

I have an ibook 800 14" running OSX 10.2.6. Just recently, whenever I have gone to the system preferences to change something about the display (usually just the brightness) I get a double panel appear. What happens is that I click on Displays and two windows appear. they seem to be identical display control panels. the front most one obscures the one behind it except for about an inch top left. the weird thing is that the front most window has no widgets on it at all. there are no red, green and yellow buttons and no bar at the top. so the only way of closing it is to press Command W to close the entire panel.

does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

thanx

Hi Fulmer,

thanx for the reply. I've tried as u suggested and DU reports no problems at all! This is weird. I have a standard system with no haxies or anything just jaguar + Office. It has been fine for months and now just the last couple of weeks has been playing up.

thanx

BTW I am thinking of getting an AV adapter for my ibook from apple and had a look at a friends set up. he connected his ibook to a TV and the picture was really blurry. no matter what we tried we could not get a sharp image. Is this a known issue with the ibooks AV out or just my friend's set up?
