Resolution help

672 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  geek73
I was using a 20inch widescreen monitor, it died out today. I plugged in my 15in back up and it says cant display screen mode since i had the resolution set to 1680x150 when by back up monitor only supports 1024x768. Is it possible to change the resolution in setup? What can i do?
Thanks

Howdy tom 25 and welcome to the Forums..

You can start windows in safe mode.. You will have to do it blindly though..

Once you turn on the pc start pressing F* for a good 10 seconds... Then wait another 10 seconds and press the up key 5 times and press enter.

If that does not work take out your video card turn on the pc ...Let it boot up for a good minute or 2...The turn it off and replace the card. This will reset the video settings.
