3 tips and tricks...

(1) boot in safe mode (press F8 )
-------------------------------------------------------------

(2) When the the Desktop is ready. (blank screen monitor)

Right Click on Desktop

Take your hand off the mouse because the rest is on the keyboard.

up <arrow>

<Enter>

hold <Shift> press <Tab>

right <Arrow> 10 times.

<Tab>

left <arrow> (decreases resolution, right arrow to increase)

<Enter>
-----------------------------------------------------------

(3) monitor unplug kardo aur phir se connect karo...
