Monitor problem

UGH, I'm so upset with myself. I made a stupid mistake and I'm hoping someone can help me fix it. My monitor has been working, but Windows was not recognizing it for some reason. I was just playing around with some of the settings, which I shouldn't have been doing. In the monitor properties, I changed the setting to Do Not Use This Device. It prompted me that I needed to restart the computer before the changes would take effect. I then thought it over and realized that might not be a good change. So I then changed it back to Use This Device, and it prompted me again to restart to make the changes. I did that thinking it would just go back to the way it was. Well......I guess I was wrong. Now every time my computer gets to the point where Windows is supposed to load up, nothing happens. I'm guessing this is because there is no monitor associated with it. It does the same thing when I start in safe mode, which is no surprise. I'm so frustrated right now. Is there any way that I can change that monitor setting without being in Windows? Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

It'd be more helpful if we knew what settings were changed. You should still be able to boot to VGA mode(F5 while after POST) if you're running XP then change the settings.

I tried to boot in VGA mode and it did the same thing. I just booted up my computer again in VGA mode. It went through the Check Disk utility and now it is just sitting there with the Check Disk screen still up. Here is the order I did things in:

Control Panel-Display-Settings-Advanced-Monitor-Properties-Device Usage
 
just keep trying to get into vga mode or any mode. you screwed up nicely i might add.

Its not wroking becuase your computer will not recognize the drivers associated with the monitor. Still, there should be no reason why your cant go into vga mode but knowing windows and mr. Bill Gates, im not gonna be all that suprised if you got yourself into a catch 22
