Changing Display Settings (Resolution mainly) through Safe Mode

Is changing your resolution, as well as other display settings, possible
through safe mode, in Vista?

Long story short, my monitor died a few hours ago. Being the resourceful
person I try to be, I went and hooked up my computer to the television, so
that I could finish what I was doing. While Safe Mode is activated and
running at 800x600x32, my television can display it just fine. However, when
I launch Vista in normal mode, I'm assuming it's displaying at a resolution
that my television can't display, 1600x1200x32. Sure, it shows pretty colors
across the screen, but not in any readable fashion.

So I'm curious, as stated above, if I can change NORMAL MODE's resolution
somehow through an option in Safe Mode? I can't do much in Safe Mode, and
certainly not what I need to finish.
