You can reset your screen's resolution in this case by rebooting the
PC and going through safe mode. Login as Administrator and Windows
will automatically reset the resolution to 600x480. You can now change
the settings yourself and then reboot once more. I suppose you should
undo your DVD changes also before rebooting.
