I have a moniter at home that lets me chose yo have really HIGH resolutions and I forgot to switch it back down to a lower one so I can use another moniter. So I cannot use windows because it is trying to output a higher resolution than available is there any way I can fix this. I can see the BIOS and then after POST when it loads windows it goes blank. Can't I boot into safe mode or something? I have Windows XP Pro. Thank you very muchOK so I figured out that pressing F8 on boot lets you choose to go into Safe mode but then I do and I load it up and change my res to a smaller one but when I reboot it doesnt save the changes or something for when I am not in safe mood because I still can't see the screen when Windows loads... help...Are you clicking Apply & OK?
Try starting in safe mode and removing the video drivers with the Device Manager, re-boot into normal mode & let windows re-detect & install drivers for you.
Then update your drivers to the latest from the manufacturer's website and reset your resolution.Yes I was. But I like the idea of reinstalling the drivers. Sounds magnificent. *CROSSES fingers*After Windows installs some drivers for you, you will need to visit the CARD manufacturer's website for the most upgraded drivers.

FlameWell it worked after all thank you very much. I canceled windows form installing and re-installed nVidia and the video CARDS drivers.
