In Windows, how do I restore my display settings after they have been changed and my display is illegible?
In Windows Vista and earlier, to change the display settings in Windows after they have been changed, and to make the display legible, you need to reboot in Safe Mode. To boot in Safe Mode and reset the display:
- While your computer is booting, when the Power On Self Test is
complete (after the first time you hear the computer beep), press and
hold the
F8key.
- Select the option to boot in Safe Mode.
- Once in Safe Mode, go to the display settings by right-clicking
the desktop and then clicking the
Settingstab. You can change the display settings back to the original configuration.
- To restore the correct settings, shut down and restart the
computer by clicking
Startand selectingShut Down, thenRestart, and thenOK.
