Resolution stuck on 320x240

[Kidney BeanClock]

I recently ran a program that changed my computers resolution to 320X240 unexpectedly. I quickly Crtl+Alt+Deleted it out of existence, but my screen was stuck at that resolution. Panicking, I quickly shut off my computer (using the button on the front like you're not supposed to). Now it's restarted and the resolution is still stuck. I am viewing too small of a portion of the screen to see the box for my password to log in to Windows. I need to change it back without logging in somehow, or log in without typing my password.

Any suggestions?

you tried tabbing into the password box?

I would suggest you fix your resolution.

I got messed up like this a long time ago.  It's tedious, but you'll have to click around like groping in the dark and find that box if you can't use the tab key.

Can you restart in safe mode?  That fixes everything and you can change the settings.  I hope.

System restore?

I was going to wait a few minutes and then move it.  I'm going to do it now.

System restore does not change display settings. Try going in in safe mode, or, as Joilet Jane said, groping around for your missing appearance window.

Just a friendly suggestion, but have you tried uninstalling your video card driver and then reinstalling it again. It worked for me when I had my color settings set on 3 bit colors under the default monitor driver under windows xp professional. Oh and one more thing check the manufacture's website for a updated version of your video card driver and it should work fine after that.

He said without logging in.



try unplugging your monitor from your graphics card and plugging it in again, or using the "auto adjust" option that comes with most monitors
