Boot to DOS. At the DOS prompt, type scanreg/restore. Select a date prior to the start of the problem by using the arrow keys. Press enter. After the restore, reboot.

I donot know what Operating System you use (Once again, someone fails to mention that..) , but Windows XP supports booting into VGA mode where you may be able to reset your resolution.
