    A game reset my display settigs! Help
    « on: February 22, 2010, 07:53:53 PM »
    I just installed a game (Enemy Territory,Quake Wars) and it changed my display settings to low. Now I can't reset them because every thing is so big that I can't get to the OK box after resetting them to high in the display settings box. How do I fix this? I was able to get to remove programs and removed the game. That didn't help.

    instead of clicking ok just press enter.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      I will hook it back up and try that, but there are other choices. OK, Cancel and Apply. I will give it a shot.

      OK is the default.

      If your on a Pre-Vista Version of windows, you can also use Alt+O to "click" the OK button.

        Thank you much for the information, I will try to remember that one. Thank you much for your time. That game also took away the cursor and took me to a page to get an up date. I could not use it because of no cursor and the arrow keys didn't work. Is there a work around to get the up date? As I said before thank you much for your time and help.
