Monitor error "Out Of Range"

The Problem
I don't know what caused it, but I suspect it was a few programs I might have installed the day before. Everything worked fine until I shut down the computer, and then the next day my screen did not look right, the resolution had changed.

I tried to set it back to the lowest possible resolution (this monitors default) and it said "out of range" I tried re-installing the driver for it, it said "failed to install driver"

On the best quality I could get, when browsing files or web sites, the screen would flicker like it refreshed instead of scrolled. and it did the same on the lowest resolution too, 16 bit was ok, but on 32 bit it flickered, and I was not going back to 16 bit resolution and especially not without the higher resolution for what I do.

I thought my motherboard or video card might have been fried and was not supporting the driver anymore.

Microsofts website said to reboot into safe mode and do this and that... that did not work.

and then.....

Solution:
I did a system restore to the previous weeks settings... wulah, it's back to normal!

It's as easy as that! I hope this helps if you ever have this problem!
