I just downloaded a new theme for xp on windows site and I changed the resolution and has become a black screen on my pc.

I'm down and back up to close it, but can not see the screen to do anything it is like a curtain that I see a bit of color behind the layer

If the screen resolution is set to a setting that your monitor is not supported, the screen can be empty.

Try to boot mode safe (repeatedly press the F8 key as your computer starts up).  Safe mode will come with a screen resolution standard (but large) that support all monitors.  If you can then see your screen, change your resolution to something that is supported by your monitor.  If you make the wrong choice and your screen turns black, don't panic, just do not touch anything and wait about 30 seconds and will return to the screen.  Once you properly set your resolution, then reboot in normal mode.

HTH,
