Try booting into safe mode, that is if the screen goes off after the BIOS does the memory test and the windows logo comes up...but before you get to the desktop...otherwise try the monitor on another machine and see if it a monitor problem.

YODA: You have to be able to see the screen to do that... http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

If it has video in DOS until Windows boots, that's what scanreg_/restore is for. Use the [F8] key or hold down [Ctrl] to get a boot menu, choose Command Prompt Only, and at the C:\> prompt type scanreg_/restore using a space in place of the underscore ( _ ) used here. Pick a backup made before the resolution change was made. It should have the previous resolution set in the registry.
