My brother changed screen resolution in WinXP. Now, XP won't display correct on the monitor. The "WinXP Home.." loading image is ok, but when windows is changes to a higher resolution, the monitor goes black. It doesn't change from 640x480 to the preset winXP resolution. I can still hear sounds, warnings and so (from messenger and ICQ), so it seems like windows work fine except for the graphics... What to do? I've tried to repair, but I havent got a password for that... (required in the restoring console) Dell Dimension 8200 with WinXP home

restart the pc while tapping F8. then use the arrow keys to select "Enable VGA mode" should redetect display and all should be ok. If that fails, then enter in as safe mode, and uninstall the VGA card from device manager and reboot.
