How do I reset Display Preferences with screen jumping?

Just got a new MacMini and connected it to my projection TV using S video cable. Everything was working fine until I tried to make the image look better and I guess I selected a wrong option in Displays System preferences because now yje image is just jumping and I cant see anything to set it up back the way it was.....

PLEASE HELP

MacMini, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I would start with all these recommendations from Apple. If none of them work, there are other things to try.

Thanks for the suggestion. However Apple Tech support walked me through it: I started it up in "Safe Mode" (holding shift). And was able to go to Display preferences and change the settings. After restarting everything was back to normal

I had the same problem and I can offer this information. You probably changed the hertz setting. That's what I did when I ran into the same problem.
