help i messed up my video settings

[XpGuy1]

I'm running xp home and I switched monitors last night. The display was too big for my screen so i changed it but when i did i must have switched it to something that the monitor doesnt like cause now i can't see anything after the XP boot screen it goes black at that point. Can i fix this in safe mode? how would i get there? the only thing i can do now is hit f1 on startup and get to the bios..


any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

shortly after the post screen comes up (where it displays your cpu, memory, drives), start pressing F8 repeatedly and you should be given a menu. there will be a safe mode option there. good luck.
