I disabled my monitor?

Last night I installed a tune-up program. I did 2 things - one was supposed
to correct registry. Second was I unchecked a whole bunch of stuff from
start-up. Clearly I made a mistake somewhere. After restarting my monitor
is not receiving any signal, not even thru the start-up process. I tried to
access thru go-to-my-pc but it says I am not connected.

How do I go back or undo the changes if I can't see the screen? Any help
would be greatly appreciated!

Than you,

Patrick

Do you see anything on the monitor at all during the boot process -
anything?

If not either the monitor or the video card went bad. It could also be a
cable connection from the monitor.

If you DO see some early screen activity, you likely damaged your video
drivers or some such. If so, it's time to reinstall the operating system.

I know this is going to sound funny, but have you made sure all of you
connections are secure? Have you swapped it with a different monitor
have you checked the video card or the RAM? Are there any lights on th
monitor

You may be able to do a system restore from your install DVD and get your
prior settings back.
