Friends -

Richard had the answer to MY problem (this might not be everyones solution) in an 
earlier posting he wrote ...

This normally happens when the drivers for your video card are not the correct ones. 
Have a look at them and make sure they are the correct ones for your graphics card. 
If they are not, go to the manufacturers site and get the right ones and install 
them. 

I went to start \ settings \ Control panel \ Display \ Settings \ Advanced \ Adapter 
.... and hit the change button. From memory, I got a dialog box that asked me if 
i wanted the system to search for the latest driver or if I wanted to specify one 
myself. I chose the first option, after making sure that I had the "Product recovery 
and diagnostics CD Rom" which came with the computer, in the drive.
The system chugged and whirred and said it was finished and would have to restart 
and when it did - you beauty! - it was back on Hi-color 1800x600! What I think happened 
was that when it went into "Safe Mode" I remember it saying that it only loaded the 
minimum of drivers, so when I restarted from there I had lost my video driver.
If this doesn't solve your problem at least you can cross this off your list of possible 
faults. Thanx Richard and all those who responded.
Cheers
Alan, Downunda
