Default Help!!display settings won't change

I don't know why when i restarted my pc after it froze getting on line, that
it restarted in a safe mode type setting. The settings will not allow me to
change my screen to 800x600 pixels or higher. The color are on 256 colors,
and will not let me to make high or true color. It keeps telling me to check
my display hardware in device manager.Does anyone know how to fix this.
Everything is huge an i can't see the whole screen clearly.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Display Adapters
Remove ALL Monitors
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers -
hopefully curing your problem.
