Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

I was running CRU because I got an Overlord monitor recently, and I was having trouble getting System Shock 2 to run on my PC so I figured maybe CRU was the problem. Not realizing what would happen, I deleted the custom resolution profile that I had set up in CRU. I figured this would just reset to the monitor's default.

Instead, the computer now blackscreens when starting up after the Windows logo. I've tried booting in safe mode, and the same thing happens.

Is there any way to resolve this problem? I really don't want to have to reinstall because of this dumb mistake...

Edit: OK I was able to fix this problem, by connecting a different monitor and using System Restore. But this is a good lesson for everyone: don't delete your profile!

What do you mean by profile? Using the "Delete" button at the top will delete the override and reset the settings to the monitor's default after rebooting. Running reset-all.exe resets all the monitors.

If you deleted all the resolutions instead, the driver will try to use a lower resolution, which won't work with the X270OC because it doesn't have a scaler.

CRU would not affect safe mode. If you can see the Windows logo, I don't know why safe mode wouldn't work.
