XP Display Settings
 
Evening,
Well I've finally decided to use BootCamp, mainly as I wanted to check out the HL2 demo, and CrossOver wasn't really cutting it.

Anyway, I'm in a dual monitor setup and managed to f-up my display settings to the extent that my main screen (the iMac's Display) looks like it's turned off and the second monitor simply shows the desktop and nothing else.

If I right click and select "Properties" I am not greeted by the usual display settings, so I cannot reset things back.

I thought safe mode might allow me to reset the thing but it does not, though that could simply be a lack on understanding on my part.

What I'd really like to do is to reset the display settings back to their defaults as they were when I installed XP. Is this possible, without having to reinstall/repair XP?

Where does XP store the display settings? I'm guessing it's probably in the registry, if so, where, and could I boot into safe mode, edit the key and then reboot and be back to normal?

thanks in advance for any help :)

Doing this from memory, but display settings, advanced, extend my desktop onto this monitor?
Have you cranked up the refresh beyond the monitor that's blank limits?

Just a thought.
