Hi Guys,

My sisters been in the settings again. surprise, surprise, she has broken something. Although this isnt on pro edition i dont really know where else to go. She has xp home edition so i thought you guys might be able to help anyway.

From what she has told me she has either changed one of the settings or installed another driver for a different monitor that is messing it up, could be either.

She turns on the computer and it starts to boot and shows the normal text as it boots, then when it goes to load windows the screen goes black and shows a message saying
"Out of Range 74.8KHZ Operating Range 30 - 70 VF 50 - 160 KHZ" Windows still loads, but you cant see it.

Im aware in a version of windows you can press a key on boot to gat a list of previous boots, then choose one and restore to that point, but i cant remember what key it is. This is the only option i can think of, it wont even go into safe mode. Does anyone know what key it is? if not anyone got any ideas?

Cheers Guys
