    Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

    Or another way is hold the Control key down as you scroll down on the trackpad.  If it zooms more, scroll the other direction to unzoom.

    I NEED HELP!

    I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8

    Screen moves around with moving the mouse, I have checked here that turning off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences would sort out the problem BUT my 'System Preferences' does not work, when I try to open it: nothing comes up. Please someone may advise if there is any keyboard commands to sort the screen moving issue.

     

    (I know I need an upgrade, but there is massive data, family pics, movies to be backed-up before the upgrade, and I don't really know how to)

    Thanks
