This question really has nothing to do with Media Center per se, it is more
of a general question for whatever OS you are running.
Generally, you push the F8 key while the PC is booting (after the BIOS/POST
messages, but before Windows starts) and you should be presented with
various choices for starting. Note: some PC don't show system status/info
when starting, they are just blank, then Windows starts; in that case, just
keep tapping the F8 key every second or so.
Once in the Safe Mode you should be able to reset the display to a basic
setting, then reboot normally and change to the correct one.
