Ok, I have no idea if this is the right section or not but regardless I am posting this. I recently went into the Properties of my other computer and changed the screen resolution and got an "Out of Range" message. From here, I can do ABSOLUTELY Nothing. I can boot in safe mode, however it is not letting me switch it back. I tried a different monitor, and I got the same problem oddly. I also looked in the BIOS and got nothing. Any IDEAS?

P.S - What can i do from Safe-mode to possibly fix it?
 
Is this onboard video or a video card?

If you have the option of either running w/ the onboard, or if you have another vid card, then yank the current card out. This should reset to a default resolution. Then uninstall your driver, and reinstall the driver. This should also set to the default rez.
 
Perhaps there's a way he can change the resolution using keyboard shortcuts...

Anyway to access the display properties using xp-shortcuts then maybe tab to the res box and hit home to get the top resolution (640x480 or 800x600)?
 
Oh, its not letting you change it back? while in safemode, uninstall the vidcard drivers, then reinstall them.
