Boot into Safe Mode, then go to Control Panel|DISPLAY|SETTINGS tab and
correct your error.

To start the computer in safe mode
You should print these instructions before continuing. They will not be
available after you shut your computer down in step 2.
Click Start, click Shut Down, and then, in the drop-down list, click Shut
down.
In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and then click OK.
When you see the message Please select the operating system to start,
press F8.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then
press ENTER.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation
that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
Notes

In safe mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers (mouse,
monitor, keyboard, mass storage, base video, default system services, and
no network connections). You can choose the Safe Mode with Networking
option, which loads all of the above files and drivers and the essential
services and drivers to start networking, or you can choose the Safe Mode
with Command Prompt option, which is exactly the same as safe mode except
that a command prompt is started instead of the graphical user interface.
You can also choose Last Known Good Configuration, which starts your
computer using the registry information that was saved at the last shutdown.
