Unable to Access Safe Mode
Hello everyone,

I've just built my first PC—a task that took me longer than I expected—and I'm having a few problems. Everything has been put together correctly, Windows Vista is installed and running, but after I adjusted the screen resolution, the screen blacked out to an error message: "Analogue out of range." I'm guessing I've adjusted the resolution too high, but I can't figure out a way to readjust it. I've pressed F8 at the login screen, get to the safe boot screen, but can't use the arrow keys on my keyboard to start it. I just end up going into normal mode and a blackened screen—what can I do to fix this?

Here's my Specs:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Is it a wired keyboard or wireless? if it is wireless use a wired keyboard, see if this works.

Also, be sure the keyboard and mouse are plugged into usb ports next to the LAN port on the motherboard.
