Disregard my message. I sort of read your post backwards. I thought you were
saying you had selected too high a resolution, when in fact you had selected
too low. My mistake. The other suggestions are what you need.
On another note (might work), you can right-click on the task bar below, for
the open settings, and select MOVE. Then you can use your cursor keys to move
the window about.

Thoth Just for fun I went safe mode, I got 480x640 with 16 color and couldn't
change anything. Rebooted and was back to the 600x800 with true color. I still
think the only way for him to go is with the keyboard.
Sincerely Yours,
Hank

Troth, very good but I think that is the way I got into my trouble the
first time. When I went to safe mode the res. was to large to fit the screen.
Hitting the tab key once, then twice then keep trying it will get you back to
where you want "the enter key each time of course"
Last night I was trying to rid myself of a spy program by regedit, Well it
didn't work but I did get to mess up my screen color so bad I couldn't read
anything, The only thing that saved me was I had saved the reg first and the
keyboard know whet I wanted when I did some typing. Got it back.
Sincerely Yours,
Hank

After everyone else's suggestions, if you are still stuck, you can just
start the computer up in SAFE MODE and then change the resolution, and then
restart.
To start in SAFE MODE, restart the computer, and while the computer is
booting up, keep pressing F8 until you get the boot menu... then you select
SAFE MODE.
