Most Annoying Apple Bug Ever

So at work I have this massive monitor, more than two thousand pixels across, huge display. Makes it actually possible to fit all those damned Flash Development windows on the screen so you can see what you're doing and actually get some work done.

Today, however, I'm working from home. At home my monitor isn't quite so beefy. It can only cope with about 1600 pixels across.

Which wouldn't be a problem, except my lappy is set to 2048 pixels and the only way to switch it back is to plug it into a monitor that'll show 2048 pixels so you can see the damned resolution-switching screen

Been trying for an hour or so to kinda feel where the dialog is on the invisible screen in the hope I can switch it to a lower resolution, ANY resolution, just something so I can see the damned dialog.

But it's hopeless.

I tried safe-mode, but for some reason my Mac doesn't wanna boot into safe-mode at all. Just sits there like a dead rock. Grr.

I think I'm going to have to try and work on the crappy little 1024x768 LCD screen built into the laptop. Which is way too small for flash dev. Way way way too small. You can't fit all the windows on the screen or anything.

sigh
