Windows 7 How to change/decrease screen resolution from "safe mode" ?

[pstein]

Due to a driver crash my "normal" Windows 7 is not able to bootup with the previous resolution
of 1680x1050

In "safe mode" a boot is possible but the resolution is here 1280x900.

How can I change the screen resolution in this "safe mode" FOR the "normal mode"?

To change the screen resolution in Safe Mode for your normal mode in Windows 7, you can follow these steps: 1. Boot into Safe Mode: - Start your computer and press the F8 key before the Windows logo appears. - Choose "Safe Mode" from the list of startup options. 2. Access the Screen Resolution Settings: - Right-click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution" from the context menu. - This will open the Display Settings window. 3. Change the Screen Resolution: - In the Display Settings window, you will see a dropdown menu under "Resolution." - Select the resolution that you want to set for your normal mode (e.g., 1680x1050). - Click on "Apply" to confirm the changes. 4. Reboot Your Computer: - After changing the resolution in Safe Mode, reboot your computer normally. Upon restarting your computer in normal mode, it should now display with the resolution you set in Safe Mode. If the driver issues persist even after changing the resolution in Safe Mode, you may need to update or reinstall your graphics driver to ensure that your desired resolution functions correctly in normal mode.
