I want to restore an original setting that I changed. I was going to install
a new graphics card into my HP, and decided to get a professional
installation instead.

My monitor comes on, then shuts off after Windows XP opens. Here’s what I did:
Control Panel
Display Properties
Settings Tab
Adapter Tab
Properties
Disable

How do I get back into the system to enable the monitor in Windows again?
I’m assuming I’ll have to go into the BIOS, but I don’t know what to do there.

Please give me the complete instructions. I am new to this.

Thanks for the helpful information I received here. I had used the F8 key
before, but I didn't continue to tap it. I got into safe mode and was able
to make the neccessary changes. I really appreciate the words of wisdom,
and I might take on the graphics card yet. I want to learn and the only
way is to do it.

Thanks again!

I have a similar problem, but worse. I must have made some mistake with
either the refresh rate or the resolution. The computer is still working
properly, but the screen is all striped and nothing can be seen. When it
boots up, by pressing the power key I can make it either hibernate or reboot
with the power options using the arrow keys because I remember the position.
I have tried the Safe Mode before, but it does not allow to change the video
card settings. Lately, I wanted to try Safe Mode again at start up but it
does not finish booting and I do not have access to msconfig.

How can I change/restore the video display settings if I cannot use the
monitor to see what I'am doing. Can anyone help, please?
