Uninstall the Nvidia Display Driver (from ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS in the Control Panel) from Safe Mode. Then once it's uninstalled, reboot your computer. Then Windows should appear this time with a really crappy default screen resolution. Just install the Nvidia display driver again (getting the most up-to-date version from Nvidia's website) and you should be all set.
