I was changing settings, and i accidentaly set my resolution (the xxx by xxx) to really high. Now when i open gw, it just says its out of frequency range and to reset it. But i cant, because i cant see it. What do i do?

When that happened to me, I had to totally uninstall GW and reinstall it I think that there might be a easier way, I don't know.

would system restore have put the settings back easier?

The video settings are stored on the Gw.dat file. Meaning that getting rid of the .dat dile is the only way to force the default settings without accessing then in game.

For future reference, you can get out of this by swapping monitors to one that supports that resolution so that you can change it back, if there's such a monitor nearby that you can borrow.
