"Cheap" way out: Buy a $10 Video card, install, boot, enable first adapter
after Windows starts (or just use new card). If old card was AGP, press
"Delete" key repeatedly at startup to get into BIOS, change "First video" (or
similar name) Setting to "PCI".(Buy PCI card.)
Should work.
Remove new card .(After power-off) or just leave it (won't hurt) and set
Bios back to AGP.

When you get to the safe mode screen pick Last Known Good
Configuration, instead of just picking safe-mode might fix it.

Also if you could not change the screen resolution it may have been
because you need to first install the video drivers for your video
card. I have had that happen a lot when windows does not install it's
own driver for the card and defaults to the 640x480 and will not let
it change till the drivers for the video are loaded.

If you have on-board video but using a video card instead enable the
on board and plug the monitor on the onboard port and boot to windows
and enable the one you disabled then go back to the bios and disable
the onboard.
