I actually had to track part of your posting to discover what you were talking about. The software you were attempting to use appears to have tried to change your screen resolution to something beyond the range of settings of your monitor. You accessed online chat help and were informed to adjust your monitor resolution to different settings. Subsequently, you have found yourself staring at a white screen and unable to see dialogue boxes. The software you appear to have been trying to use was Yahoo Messenger and Paltalk.
It would be nice to know what the original monitor settings were. In fact, you should always post the monitor brand and model number with questions such as this. It would also be nice to know what operating system you were using.
Your monitor may have an auto button (short for auto configuration). Pressing that might restore the default settings. If you can take a look at the monitor's manual, usually accessable by going to the brand site and searching for the model number, you might find relevant instructions regarding any such button.
If you can't fix the monitor configuration via the buttons on the monitor, you may have to resort to a system restore to a date prior to the original error message of "out of range" appearing. That may remove any problematic software that you installed that yielded the original problem. Write down the display settings (the resolution) before trying run anything that might yield an out of range message again. I can't say at this point if you need to go into "safe mode" on boot or not. There is a wee possibility that just going into safe mode and then rebooting might yield you a readable screen. You would then have to change the resolution of one you are comfortable with.

Hi Anonymous, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? What about "who"?
