Just try taking the gfx. card out and putting it back it. If not, then make sure u have the latest drivers for it.

well i think its that u changed the resolution too high that ur screen or video card cant handle, i would reccomend reinstalling the game to reset the game settings

Dout it, it would just lag, with a card like that.

Re-installing the card will definatlly do it(and ussaly your savs will be fine) and most games have a way of doing it also, try e-mail customer support and ask.

what game is it?

A possibility is searching for a file that contains the "setting data", like resolution etc. These files are usually .cfg files which can be opened with i.e. Notepad.

What res was it on? I'm sure your video card could handle next to anything, but your monitor on the other hand might be the one that can't disaply it. A monitor can't display anything your video card can, so make sure you check your max/limits for your monitor as well as your video card.

Removing video card might fix it, Re-installing the game might fix it as well. I'd try removing the card first though.

you could try fixing it using a different monitor, resolution might not be messed up then.
