in [Windows XP]

From: peejaa on 17 Feb 2010 10:39 A mate changed his display settings on his XP machine but chose a setting too high for the card/monitor. Now the display is all gobbledegook..he wants to revert to a lower setting but can't view anything on the screen! How does he access and change his screen display settings?
