Noob Needs Moniter Help

[chopinporkchop]

Ok.. first off the names jeff, i jus got a new moniter for my computer.. and i plugged it in.. worked fine.. brightness n such were a bit off so i went into display properties and went to the NVIDIA section to change brightness and such.. and im pretty sure somehow a setting got changed that i didnt mean to.. all of a sudden theres these lines of colour going across my screen. So i plugged in another moniter i have.. restart comp.. And it went thru the XP startup screen and as soon as it went to load my desktop the moniter went black... so this is all i know..
Video card - Geforce 4 fx 5200
os- xp
i do not know what todo.. if anyone could help me that would be great

I'd hook the new monitor back up and boot into safe mode.
Go into your Display Properties / Settings / See if you can change the settings back.
Did you get any software with your new Monitor? Did you install it?
Now would be the time if you didn't.
Reboot and let Windows detect/install the new hardware.
