The other I went to boot up my Toshiba "Satellite" laptop and when I got past the windows 3.1 "picture" I got an error message that said "Video BIOS does not support this mode. Press any key to continue...". When i press a key it brings me to a command prompt. I know what's wrong. However, I don't know what command line to use. Any command lines for me.

P.S. I think it has something to do with my changing of the screen resolution.

ok...while booting, please press F5 or F8 repeatedly and choose something similar to this:
"VGA Mode"
