Default BIOS primary video adapter change gone wrong

In an effort to run Battlefield 2 on a radeon 9200 graphics card, I tried to change my BIOS settings.
I switched my primary video adapter from PCI to AGP/Onboard.
when I booted, my desktop is shifted to the left, offscreen, there's a funny border, and programs open far to the left, offscreen. when I try to access BIOS, all I get is a blank screen and a whirring hard drive.

how can I change my settings back?

(note: running battlefield is no longer a concern, I'm just trying to get my pc back to normal)

Open the case, there will be a watch type battery on your motherboard, remove it for 10 mins with the mains lead unplugged also.

This will reset the BIOS settings.
