Had a similar prob last week, clicked on display settings and got a black screen. You need to download the latest nvidia drivers here http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_61.77
Completely uninstall the old driver and install the new driver.

Its a personal thing. I have it set to 1024x768 and all the settings in nvidia left at their default settings. You can play round with them and try it all out, won't hurt anything.
