While working in Recovery Mode, check /etc/usplash.conf file and see if the resolution is set properly. Paste its content here.

i have a suggestion..*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/yes.gif don't know if it will solve ur problem or not..
edit the boot menu by pressing 'e'
no go to the line kernel and press 'e'...
go to the end of the line and delete splash silent or something after ro or rw..
press esc and press 'b' to test..

if this works the u have to edit the /boot/menu.lst file...
