MESSAGE BODY TOO BIG ????????????????

[Maxwell Schmart]

MAN, IT'S ONLY A COUPLE PARAGRAPHS, NOT 40K.
What is wrong here?

Hi, I'll start with the short version ...
 
This is on a hard drive installation, not running from a CD.
 
Something happened to my video mode and now my screen is in some
unrecognizable mode.
 
Is there like a "safe mode", or a way to change the resolution/HZ to a
default that will work no matter what?  A "hot key" perhaps, like Windows F8
 whatever.
 
This is an installation on a hard drive, so using safe mode booting from a
CD doesn't help me.  The CD works fine.
