I accidentally change my screen resolution to something my monitor cant handle and i couldnt change it back (randomly clicking on screen which worked once before).

When i rebooted, i tried going into safe mode (held shift on the beep) and that did not work. I tried putting in the leopard disc in hopes that i can do something about it but even that i cant see. The only thing i can do is hold art. Press right once after a few seconds and hit enter to boot into windows.

How can i fix the screen resolution remotely? or maybe with a linux live disc that can write to HPS+ ?

Hold down Option-Command-P-R when starting your mac until you hear two beeps. This will reset the nvram and revert the screen resolution to the default setting.
