Just installed Windows 95 on my Pentium machine, and when I decided to change the resolution, it started looking for the drivers, so I chose one by the same brand and series as the one I'm using. Now after startup, my monitor gives an error reading, "Not Optimum Mode - Recommended Mode 1280x1024 60Hz." I can't see the desktop, so how do I fix this? Is there some program that changes the Windows resolution in DOS? My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster B1740 and my graphics card is a Mach64 Wincharger, if that helps.

Have you tried booting to Safe Mode?

I tried to at first, but now I realize I pressed it too late. Works now, thanks!
