Hi, I need some help! I change my desktop background to black by accident and now I can't read anything on my screen, how can I change it if I can't see any of the screen commands? <G> > Hi, I need some help!

Reboot the machine and right after the POST screen start tapping F8 until you get the Advanced Options Menu. You might try Last Known Configuration first. The other two options to try would be Safe Mode and/or Enable VGA mode.  SignatureBrian A.
