display settings on monitor too high--monitor won't display

[hjf2001]

Hi,

I tried to change the settings for my display and set them too high and unfortunately pressed the wrong button and saved the settings. The screen is now black and a error message saids there are too many scans or something tothat effect.

What should I do now to change the display settings back--OS in NT 4.0 and I did not make an Emergency repair disk. Last known Good Configuration does not work either.

I welcome any suggestions that will help me.

I am totally out of my element here (NT) but when you sya that "Last known configuration does not work either", do you mean that you have done this:

reboot to command prompt only type at the prompt: scanreg_/restore
with the (_) underscore respresenting a s_pace.
you will be presented with a list of registry dates. Choose one prior- to when you had the program problem or change.

again, I don't even know if this will WORK in NT... someone else will hopefully be around to advise.

Good Luck http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm basically out of my element here too, but if NT has something like Safe Mode, try that, change the video settings back and reboot. Check back, we have a couple of folks here who are very good with NT, maybe they will have some better ideas.
