My 8-yr-old son changed his win98se screen size (from 640x480) to something larger and apparently not compatible with his system/monitor. All we get now is fast/wavy lines and a completely illegible desktop.

Any ideas how to get it back?

I tried to stop it during boot, to go to SAFE mode, but I can't get it... It's F2 or F8 at boot, right?

Yes it is F8 during booting up then select the safe mode option. Keep hitting it sa the m/c finish checking the IO system and starts loading windows. Good luck

no i guess u cant get it like that. The easiest way is take ur CPU to any of your friends house who has a PC and plug it in with his monitor. It will 100% work then you make the settings to normal and bring back your PC home. You will see the change in the display.
all the best

You can also just hold down the CTRL button as soon as you hear the initial beep at startup.
