Video drivers: help me get out of the vicious circle!

[T. R. Knows]

Problem solved! here is this solution for posterity:

I found a monitor capable of displaying at the settings I inadvertently
arrived at.

Asked the colleague if I can swap CPUs for a few minutes.

In less than five minutes I got the settings back to values that my
monitor can tolerate!

Upto that point I I had spent three hours installing and uninstalling
the drivers, looking at Microsoft site for suggestions, and trying to
edit the registry...

I should have gone to that colleague right away.

Hope this helps others who may search for a solution within the archives
of these newsgroups.

I will add some keywords to make the searches easier below...
