Black screen after enabling 3x buffering

After enabling the Triple Buffering (VSYNC) option, my screen is black. It is also pitch black when I launch the game, so I am unable to change it back.

Is there anything I can do to default my options other than a reinstall?

Here's the DXDIAG:

Granted, I probably deserve it, for trying to play this game on my laptop. It runs great on the desktop.

    Hi, could you please post your log file here?

    Press Win+R and then type this and press enter:
    %APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2\log.txt

    Also, I think you can check the options.xml if there is anything you can modify to fix your change:
    \Steam\userdata\<userid>\4920\remote\options.xml
