How do I change the screen resolution on a dell 2607 lcd monitor without seeing the screen?

I have a dell 26 n lcd tv/monitor hooked up to my dell computer...was messing around and changed the screen resolution in windows (vista). Now my monitor has this bouncing msg that says ';out of range can't display this video mode. Change computer display input to 1360x768 at 60hz';. but it won't let me because I can't see anything. Have restarted, F8 and safe mode, but it only brings up the welcome screen for maybe 1 second before returning to the blank screen with the same ';out or range...'; message.



Have also restarted by F8 in the low resolution video mode and welcome screen is visible for about 1 second before returning to ';out of range'; message.



Have also tried hooking up a different monitor (one I'm using now) changing the resolution then hooking up the original monitor but it doesn't work, still goes back to same ';out of range...'; message.



Have tried using the remote to the tv to change the size...doesn't work...have tried to change the factory settings but still doesn't work.



Have tried turning off and back on; unplugging and plugging back in; different VGA cords and ensured they are plugged in securelyHow do I change the screen resolution on a dell 2607 lcd monitor without seeing the screen?
If you used F8 to boot into VGA mode there should be NO issue at that point. It should boot into a VERY crappy looking low resolution. If you're still experiencing some sort of issue then you're in a bit of trouble. The only options I can think of is remote control the computer from another PC or take it to a shop that has access to higher end monitors and see if they can't just make the adjustment for you.
