Try pressing you're WINDOWS key to bring up the START menu and then go to Control Panel, Display. <p></p><i></i>

Thanks but that alone doesn't work when you're frozen in at a screen size that doesn't let one apply/ok settings, BUT what did was setting resolution and using "enter" to reset. Thanks <p></p><i></i>

Sorry, I tryed. I had that very same thing happen to me about a year ago with a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 card and for the life of me I couldn't remember How I got out of it, It happened several times, I guess my mind is going. But I think that I might have done what you did. I guess this means that I can't go to Compact or M$ and apply to do Tech Support any time soon. I'll just keep reading and learning until then.

doesn't booting into safe mode always put you in 640x480? (in 98, not 2k) <p></p><i></i>
