actually sir, this keystroke come from the old lc580 days and it is  
called the parameter ram. which most of your control pannel settings  
were stored in the 4meg rom chip next to the physical ram. so when you  
press the ctrl option p and r it zapped it and all your extensions and  
control pannel settings were set to default.

thanks for
the tip.

A few days back I had written about the way I completely messed up my  
Mac
Mini by trying to install Windows Vista with Bootcamp.
I was getting no startup screen, the option key did not bring up a boot
menu.
However, by holding down command option p r at startup, the machine  
came up
talking with Voiceover again.
I am sure that this key combination is familiar to experienced Mac  
users, so
I'm glad I found out about it as well.
I think that I'll pay the fine folks at the Apple store to install  
Windows
the next time around!

Thanks.
