Here's my problem. I had my desktop set to the MAX possible video resolution for my old monitor. Unfortunately, my monitor failed and I borrowed a monitor from a friend that can't accept the video resolution that my PC is currently set to. When I connect my borrowed monitor to the PC I get an ERROR message that reads "Video Input out of range". Because the borrowed monitor can not accept the video input that my PC is trying to feed it, I am unable to to view my desktop and reset the video settings through the control panel. Can anyone suggest a method for resetting the video settings.

Obviously, I could buy a monitor that would accept the higher resolution and fix the problem immediately, but I would LIKE to know if there is another way to solve this dilemna. I would like to be able to use my PC with the borrowed monitor without having to buy a new monitor. Wow I FEEL like a dumbass

Does your motherboard have onboard/integrated graphics and a add-on
graphics card?Try starting in Safe mode. If you can do that, then change your video settings and restart. Getting into Windows Safe Mode Soybean,
Thanks for the advice. I was able to restart in safe mode and change the video resolution settings so that I can now use my PC with the new monitor.
