I have a Dell C400 laptop. I was fooling around with the screen resolution and I increased it from 600x480 to 800x400. It prompted me to reboot the computer, which I did. Then after the windows boot screen, the display goes blank, and shows nothing, and no progresssion is made. Is there a way I can fix this?? Thanks for any suggestions.

edit: it was the resolution of the adapter that I changed.

Try booting into Safe Mode options:

After the power-on and BIOS POST or your Logo screen repeatedly tap the F8 key or hold the Ctrl key before Windows starts.

Then try either a System Restore or else adjusting your settings from the same location as before.

Jephree thank you so much, it worked perfectly. However, why can't I change my screen resolution to anything larger than 600x480? I try to adjust the resolution, but nothing happens. I am running 16 color mode. Thanks again.

Most likely you need to reload your graphics drivers.

Look under Display or perhaps Video Adapter is more relevant.

Do you recognize your particular device?

Once again, you've saved my neck...Thank you, it worked perfectly.

Cool! Glad it worked out!

Thanks for the update and the thanks!

Let us know if we can help further in the future.
