HELP: Display Settings Screwed up - How can I recover

Well, it's a public holiday here so I started playing around with powerstrip.

I have WinXP (SP2)

I changed the refresh rate on my monitor(TV) and its not locking up.


I reboot and everything is fine bring in up the signon screen. As soon as I signon the display settings take effect and I don't have enough time to change them back.

The problem with XP is I don't see the option to start in safe mode.

Unfortunately I don't have my ERD Commander CD to recover (it's in the office)

Does any kind soul know of a way to go in and change the display settings before they take effect so that I can see what I am doing?

Your assistance will be much appreciated.

F8 before the winxp is loading screen, to go into safe mode. You can chnage the display setting there.
