display settings changed and caused problem

[Dausa67]

Happy Thanksgiving to all,
I was messing with the display settings on a pc which would only use 16 bit color and 640 x 480. Everything on my screen was huge. Not sure what I did but now there is nothing on my display at all. Is there a way that I can reverse this through the bios or anyother way?

Thanks for any quick responses.

Have you tried booting into safe mode and doing a system restore to before you started messing with the settings?

Hope this helps.

install an updated GRAPHICS driver, and all should be reset to the correct resolution...

and that what CMeagan suggested, I agree and should be looked into... as it would set the state of the machine to a date prior to when the problems occurred...
