Trying not to sound like Donald Rumsfeld here:
I think I tinkered with the wrong thing here. I believe I was adjusting my video resolution, although at some point my computer (WinXP), upon booting up, will not boot up but instead, goes to a "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED" screen. The only way I can start it is in the safe mode, whereby I uninstall and reinstall the video driver. The thing then goes to a 60 second countdown, boots up properly, and functions normally until I turn it off again. Then the same thing happens.
I don't have the slightest idea what to do, but I know someone here does. I'm thanking you in advance for your help.
MMaison.
note: Rudi was kind enough to suggest the tip below. Does that help anyone??

re: Rudi
I think you trapped into a complete wrong forum.
This is the AIX-forum for the lucky ones
fighting with the IBM-UNIX.
My only idea to your XP-problem:
a) Perhaps you have a program in your
registry-run-once-key, that starts at normal startup
and changes your video-resolution.
(Don't ask me, where this key lies in detail.)
b) What programs are started in your AUTOSTART?
Perhaps there is a "resolution-changer"?
c) Try to ask your question within a Windows-XP-forum.
