There's a few methods (that apply to real hardware too).

1) Hold down 'shift' on startup to prevent !Boot from running (which loads
the dodgy mode), and then poke around in !Boot to change which mode is
used.

*or*

2) Wait till you're in the 'desktop' (or best guess when that it). hit F12
and blindtype 'wimpmode 28' (without quotes) and hit enter. This should
put you back into 640x480, and then poke around in !Boot to change which
mode is used.
