  Ext display: how to reset?

  Posted by John Phillips on December 23, 2008 at 4:57 pm

  Hi All

  I’m embarrassed to say I was messing around with external Cinema Display preferences on my MacPro (08) OSX 10.5.6 and AE CS3 and somehow everything is black and I can’t get rid of it. I chose Main or something in the video preferences in AE… I tried removing the recent prefs to no avail. Every time I open AE, the dock disappears and all is black – can’t find the menu bar, in fact I can’t even force quit AE as the finder is black too. Any help greatly appreciated!

  To answer my own post, if anyone is a silly as I am and is curious, I found an Adobe folder in the Lib/Prefs and removed the AE doc and voila – all better! Not the prefs at the top level of Prefs.

  Now I have to figure out how to get my CRT monitor to work with AE!

  Sorry to bother the group…
