Whoops ... How do I fix this?

[dynamictiger]

I was playing around with my birthday present my wife gave me, it sends the signal from my video card to my TV, and I made a stuff up.

I couldn't get the picture on the TV and fiddled around in the advanced settings. It seems I have overlayed the desktop with the secondary monitor desktop. This effectively stops me seeing mouse movements on my monitor and I cannot get the properties window up on the desktop to correct the mistook I made.

When I unplug the device I can't alter the properties for the second display.

It seems to me illogical there is no way to undo this, I just don't know how as I am too new to second monitors.

I am running Windows XP Pro, with an nVidia MX 440 video card.

dynamictiger,

Have you tried booting into safe mode?

Thank you for the suggestion, however, once in safe mode what should I do then.

dynamictiger,

If you can boot into safe mode, you should be able to get into the display adapter properties.
