gasbo,
Boot into Safe Mode or VGA Mode and reset the Refresh Rate / Resolution.
A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=315222
"Enable VGA Mode: This option starts Windows in 640 x 480 mode by using the current video driver (not Vga.sys). This mode is useful if the display is configured for a setting that the monitor cannot display."

I use XP Pro. I need to reset my monitor resolution. But I can not see the desktop or any XP screen. The monitor gives me some error message about the wrong refresh rate. I used a third-party utility to change the settings for my screen resolution to 1280x960. By mistake I chose a screen setting which my monitor can not show. How can I change my monitor's resolution without seeing the screen? from another XP Pro system I worked out a series of keyboard shortcut but I must be doing something wrong. I think I am not even launching the Display Properties window. Is there a keyboard shortcut to directly launch Display properties? Is there another way to set the resolution without seeing the screen?
