Ok, so something weird has happened to my MacSE running 6.0.7
with misc inits.  I just noticed last night that when AfterDark
kicks in over WhiteKnight 11.08 the "counter" displaying minutes/secs
in WhiteKnight "pokes" through my screensaver.  Also if I have the
ControlPanel-->General running, the time/date areas poke through
the screensaver also.  
Previously AfterDark always completly darkened the entire screen,
now whether I am under MultiFinder, Finder with inits or very few
inits this "peeking through" problem occurs.  Also no matter which
ADark module I pick, the "updated screen" area pokes through.

I recently tried PrintAid cdev, which has been the only change to my
system config recently.  I thought maybe this cause the problem, but
after disabling and removing the cdev, the "AfterDark poking" still occurs.
I have also done the following:

1) ran disinfectant  - no virus'
2) ran Norton DDocktor - no problem with my SCSI 30Mb HDrive
3) copied AfterDark off master disk - did not help!
4) Restored System, Finder, MultiFinder off backup - did not help!
5) Restored General cdev, and WhiteKnight - did not help!

So basically I do not know what to check next?  is my PRAM messed
up?  How can i reset or Zap my PRAM if so?  Any/all advice needed
thanks.
