I have an Olevia LCD display and use a DVI-HDMI cable from my HTPC (nvidia 6150). The resolution was 1280x720 (wasn't filling the screen) then I changed it to 1360x768 (closest to the native 1366x768), I immediately lost video and I can't get it back -- I have a blank screen even after rebooting and I can't recover from it. When I used VGA in the past, no problems at all - I could change to any resolution. It seems that the graphics chip is stuck in a mode that outputs only thru DVI and I can't seem to get VGA to work. I ultimately want to drive the Olevia thru DVI-HDMI and my projector thru VGA. I know the 6150 can do this in dual mode. But how do I get back my video so that I can change the nvidia settings? Suggestions?

boot into safe mode and change the resolutions, if that doesnt work boot back into safe mode and uninstall the driver, restart, delete any old profiles and reinstall.
not into safe mode, but the same way F8.. then VGA mode
Thanks guys, that works. Video is back on VGA.
I completely forgot about booting into safe mode. But I still want to be able to run my 6150 in Dual mode or Clone mode. Maybe Dual mode has problems? I guess I'll try clone mode at 1280x720 since my LCD display and projector can handle both. (LCD is 1366x768 but I'll set it to full screen instead of 1:1 pixel mapping).
