In the appearance controls panel under fonts there is an option to smooth screen fonts above a certain size, make sure that the smallest size is selected, I think that is 12 points…

I am running a 9.0.4 on a DVSE and my screen keeps flashing and then shrinking while i am using it. Help Please

Try trashing the monitors preferences file.

Is it cold? Cold air causes shrinkage! When mine shrinks, I warm it up with a girl. Oh yeah, what were you saying about a monitor or something?

and try the Display pref's file, trash it... but your monitor may be dying, powersupply or logicboard who knows

Ok well I tried deleting prefrences and warming my computer up but it is still doing its morphing trick. The screens horizontal gets bigger and vertical gets smaller or visavisa. H…

I have already had to get a new iMac already and will do so again only as a last resort. I posted in Apples tech forum. I am confused as to why it has just begun doing this?

is your iMac plugged into a surge protector or line conditioner, or is it plugged into the wall, or is it close to a fluorescent light or a dimmer or anything of this sort?

I do have it pluged into a surge protector and it is next to my tv. Once again thank you for your help.

well do try reorienting your tv or your Mac... move them away from each other and also try to use a power circuit for your Mac that is not being used by anything else

I will try this as soon as I can, thanks.

Man, if you're on your 2nd iMac, you're in trouble! Maybe you're balancing off those of us who are having really Good Luck! GET MORE MEMORY! It's really cheap!

I have the same problem.Didn't you saw it on this forum the past week.One thing I know is that it's not v9 of MacOS the trouble.I have the 8.6 version I don't know what is the prob…

Did you try reinstalling the OS? jim08088@otenet.gr

NO reason in the world why one should "get used to" a monitor that does not work right!!! if you are still under warranty, have it fixed

Sorry my monitor doesn't flash ,the screen just shrinks.How do you now it's not the graphics card?

well, one will bloody well not know until it is taken in to be fixed, eh???
