Lost monitor in compatibility mode

Comment:
While trying to use compatibility mode to load one of my son's games I somehow made it so nothing displays on the monitor, it just stays black. I hooked the monitor up to my notebook to ensure that it hadn't died and it worked fine. How can I restore communication between the monitor and computer when nothing shows on the screen? Please help. Thanks!
