Changed my settings and need help changing back please

So I recently got a dell dimension e520 second hand, and I'm experiencing a couple of problems with it that I was wondering if you could help me with. It has a hard drive partition and 2 operating systems, one on each partition. At boot up I have to choose an operating syatem which are both exactly the same; windows xp media centre. I'm not too worried about this though. My main problem is that I changed the display settings on one of the os's (the one I'd been using mostly) and now whenever i start up this os the screen doesn't display. The settings I changed were,

Right click desktop, properties, settings, advadnced, adapter, properties, and then set device usage to; Do not use this device (disable).

I can start the other os and see it as Ididnt change the settings on that one, but I would prefer to use the other os as it is on the bigger hard drive partition. There was a video card with the computer but it wasnt working properly so I took it out and I am using the integrated one.

Any help would be appreciated on how to change back my settings if any of you guys know how to.

did you try to reformat that partition?

I don't think he wants to lose all the files he has on that partition shadow, what he should do is enter that partition in safe mode and undo the changes

to do this = when you turn the pc on try to hit F8 button continuously Until you get the start up menu, then choose partition and then safe mode, wait a little while the drivers are loading then change the settings.

PS you will be able to see the screen because windows uses it's own drivers for safe mode
