Hi, I am hoping someone can help me fix my computer.

I was messing around the other day with my computer setting trying to make my mouse scroll smoother when I use the wheel. I wasn't really sure what I was doing so was just messing around.

Anyway I went to the menu for Display, then settings, then moved the screen resolution slider from the minimum to the maximum.

Unfortunantly the screen then went completely black and a little message popped up saying that it was out of limits.

Now I can't use my computer at all (writing this on my laptop!). I have tried plugging another screen in and the same message came up. I also tried putting my LCD TV on it but it just keeps saying not supported.

The computer was handed down from my mum so I don't have any of the manuals or anything.

Help me! How do I reset it so that I can use it again. There is nothing on the computer that I don't mind losing, if there was a way of resetting it to factory setting that would be fine, I just don't know what to do!

Thank You for reading, big kiss if you can help!

Your computer should still be working, but Windows won't display because of the improper graphics settings.

Start your PC, and before windows begins to load keep tapping (or hold) F8. This should bring up a menu before booting, choose "Safe mode" and you should be able to boot into a fail-safe mode. Here you can try changing your resolution settings back. Then reboot and see what happens.
