Re: screen is black after I changed the advanced display settings

The computer starts up and displays the BIOS text. It will go into the
options screen and I am able to choose VGA mode, and it starts up perfectly.
The problem is Windows. I have Windows XP and when starting up the computer
shows the Windows startup screen but after that there is nothing but
black/grey. The computer beeps as normal when starting up.

If you are sure that you have the monitor pluged in to the correct VGA card.
(you might have 2, one onboard and one AGP) and you turn on the monitor and
it does NOT display the first text from the BIOS
when the PC starts then that means that your monitor is dead.
do you hear any beeps of the pc complaining when you start it? Perhaps the
display card is
loose... it has happened to me many times.

if it was, it must have been older than 15 years old....

Hi,
Really stupid me decided to change the display settings in the control
panel under the advanced tab. My screen isn't a very good one - it was
only on 600x400 pixels and I tried to change it to 800x600 or something
under display-->settings-->advanced as I was unable to alter it using
the sliding bar in settings. It worked slightly but then I changed it
again to something else and when it rebooted I got the Windows startup
screen then when it would usually go to the desktop it just goes black.
I've tried starting up in VGA mode, safe mode and the last good one,
but nothing works. I can use the keyboard to shut it down but cannot
see anything. Please help!
Thanks,
Kathleen
