From a DOS boot, type:
scanreg /restore
and press Enter.

Choose a backup dated from a day prior to your changes.

If all you're trying to do is to get more than 16 colours, then there's no
point in trying to tweak the registry. Do Start / Run / MSConfig and make
sure Normal Startup is selected. Choose Advanced and make sure VGA
640x480x16 is NOT selected. Do Start / Settings / Control Panel / Display /
Settings / Advanced / Adapter and note the adapter description. If this is
some type of generic VGA driver, or if it doesn't exactly match the adapter
installed in your machine, then you need to find and install the video
adapter drivers specific to your particular hardware. These should be
available at the video adapter card manufacturer's www site, or if the video
adapter is integrated into the motherboard then it should be available at
the motherboard manufacturer's www site. You may have been provided with a
CD as part of your system deal - in that case the drivers should be on that
CD. If you have upgraded your video adapter since you bought the machine
then the upgrade should have included a CD that would have the drivers on
it.
