Noel Paton had this to say:


Your Display is locked *in Safe Mode* but any changes that you make
there should be activated once you reboot to Normal Mode - try it and
see.

Now that's one I'd have never guessed at. I don't actually have a Dell lappy
running at the moment (I've pretty much given up on them and have moved on a
to a new brand) but I seem to also recall that the monitor could be set to
duh-fault through the CMOS or adjusted to a number of resolutions. Setup was
accessed during boot by pressing the delete key. I am pretty sure at any
rate that it was the Dell that had that _feature_ in the CMOS.

Note: I didn't even rant about the difference between CMOS and BIOS I'm
getting better I tell ya g The doctors say I should be okay to go out in
public now so long as I stop biting people.

*thread marked for reading/downloading to see final results of this one*
