Please help me...
I have a PowerMac G3 9500, which I hooked up to a Acer PC based monitor with the Mac Video cable Adapter. This worked fine, but I didnt like the resolution so I went into Control Panel to change it, I did and now the refresh rate is all screwed up.I cant tell whats on the screen or where my mouse is even located. I tried using all the different settings on the Adapter to fix it but nothing works. What do i do, I can use my Mac at all. If I reformat will it slove the problem? - Thanks in Advance to all that help me.

Try zapping PRAM at startup. Normally, this will reset your Mac video to 256 colours, 640*480 res at an eye-pain refresh rate. If you don't know how to zap PRAM, consult your manual :-)

Your monitor is faulty.
Take it to a tech to look at.
Relax, It's not your software.
