When I was at my desktop in Windows XP sp3, I right clicked and selected properties then clicked on settings in hopes of changing my screen resolution. Clicked on Advance and then Monitor and somehow changed it from default to something else and in error and now although xp is running I can't see it on my monitor. How can I change this back. I can't see anything so I can't change it myself....is there a way to do this?

thanks for your help.

When you reboot go into Safe Mode and set your resolutions to what you had before.
Save or Apply and then restart system and go back to normal mode.
Once in normal mode then you can change resolutions again to what you want.
Let me know if it works ok for you.

No, that didn't work. Any other suggestions?

OK then repeat steps and this time go to Monitor
Change it to to standard vga or PNP Monitor and then Apply and ok
Boot back to Normal Mode and see if it helps.
