hello NT Partners:
I am having a re-occuring problem with Windowns NT4 that has now
happened to me a couple of times.
When you accidently set the video settings too high and NOT test the
settings so you cannot see your screen, you then can go into default
VGA mode as a 'safemode' so you can see your screen again and try to
fix things back. Howeever, I cannot figure out how you are supposed to
get your settings BACK to a low-resoution that you can see your screen
again. When I try to change the settings back, they are already at
480x640, and then when I reboot into standard mode, my screen is still
set to a setting that is too high for the monitor.
How do you set the standard video mode back to a regular setting from
the emergency VGA video mode?
Thanks,
- Stefan Stasik
