    go into the device manager and remove the display adapter. When you reboot it should recognise it and ask you to install it again...this usually works for me when I break my display in work and it turns on it's side! :p

    haveyou tried going in through display settings in control panel?

    i occasionally used to have trouble with right clicking on the desktop and choosing properties, but i could still get in through the control panel.

    If you've done a fresh install of XP, and added yourself as a user on the Welcome screen, then you are just a limited user - i.e. you are not an administrator.

    Log on as admin and try again.
