hi, i messed up apparently now i have no idea how to fix this.
I was messing around with the settings on my Gforce 8800GT and i put the refresh rate up to high by accident, i was just seeing how high it could go.

anyway

now im stuck at a screen that says
"Cannon Display This Video Mode"
"Optimum Resolution 1280x1024 60Hz"

I cant get by this screen, I cant even change my moniter settings from this screen
I rebooted and went to the F2 set up screen to change my moniter settings and still it did nothing.

I have no clue how to fix this.

Boot your operating system into safe mode, automatically kicks everything down to 16bit, 600x800 res.

You need to change the hertz that the video card is sending at, kick it down to 60 that is default.
