Display resolution/dpi

[derby11]

Can someone point me in the direction of a fix for
this problem,

My display resolution accidently was set to 800x600
and the dial0g boxes are so large that I cannot get
to any buttons other than Troubleshoot and Advanced,
which means I cannot reset the display to 1024x768.

I also noticed that the dpi is set to 150% of normal
size (wondering if that is the reason the boxes are so
large)

At any rate, I would like to reset both those values,
but have no way to click on an OK button to do so.

Is there a registry value I can reset, or a workaround that
anyone can point me to?

Any help mcuh appreciated

Have you tried safe mode?

If the dialog box extends off the screen, you can move it by hitting
Alt-Space and then "m" and then use the arrow keys to move the window
to where you can access the buttons you need to access.

Never did try that, someone else came up with a way to get it, and
it's taken care of. Apparently, can just hit "enter" instead of
clicking on the button and it works the same - at leats it did in this
case
