Default Need computer help urgento!

Hi guys,

Some one has changed the resolution on my home PC to one that the monitor cannot display. Obviously I can't change it back becaue I can't see anything! Is there a way to start it in safe mode maybe and change the resolution, or will I have to re-install windows so the default resolution is displayed? Or even better is there a really easy fix I don't know about?

Cheers Daniel.
