I accidently set the refresh rate of my monitor too high and now all I get on the screen is a bunch of waves. I tried to boot into vga mode to correct the problem, however I get a message about the driver of my video card is not available. I understatnd that VGA mode is similar to Safe Mode found in the Windows 9x variants. However, I am not sure how to correct this problem. Will I need to re-install the driver to the video card, or is there an easier way to change the refresh rate back to its original setting in Windows NT 4.0?

Usually you have to TEST after a video change. Did this not happen?

Can you get to display properties when you boot up in safe mode?
