What monitor profile is it using? See if you can change that. If it's using an incorrect one, rename the profile so it can't. Hopefully you can get back to something like default monitor that will lower the refresh rate.
As a last resort reinstall the video drivers but you have to wipe the registry settings for the old ones before you reinstall.

I had to use the PC, so I had to hook up a 17" backup monitor. Windows won't display because the refresh rate is too high for the 17" monitor. So, like I always do, I restart in safe mode to change the refresh rate. WRONG! In the drop-down there's no refresh rate selections in safe mode, only "adapter default"! I clicked "OK" anyway, restarted, nothing, same thing. I can't even lower the resolution to something that supports the current refresh rate! How am I going to get around this? -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
