Control Panel/Display problem

I mistakenly set my Screen Area to 848x480 in Display Properties in the Control Panel.This has caused the Display Properties box to become longer than the screen size - can't minimize or resize this box - did move this box to top of screen but still chops off bottom. I can use my slider to change the setting to 1024x768 or higher but the setting won't stick - goes back to 848x480 because I can't OK\APPLY the setting which is hidden off my screen area. Same problem on my S3 adapter box trying to change font size (I can't get into a program online because it chops off the OK at bottom). I have: re-installed ME, downloaded updated driver for S3 adapter, installed new monitor - everything works fine except for this glitch. Any alternative ways to change screen area? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated - 4 days trying on this. Thanks
