Line 285. (r-h column) Restore All Display Tabs
2. "Restart in Safe mode. When your computer restarts, it will be
running in VGA (640x480, 16-color) mode. You can now reset your display
settings by right-clicking the desktop, clicking Properties, and then
clicking Settings. If the resolution you want to select is not
available, choose another resolution (anything but 640x480, 16-color),
and let Windows restart. The full set of resolutions and color depths
will be available after you restart your computer."
3. Go to
