Don't worry about that.  Keith gets up my nose sometimes.

Keep your chin up--you're not in *that* deep
...and remember that we *all* started at zero.

(Your *question* should actually have contained some form of a phrase like
"screen resolution", but we know where you're headed.)

I liked the first 80% of Keith's post.
Before anything else, do try the **without restarting** technique he posted.

Here's how I previously answered a similar query:
  **Not enough video resolution / Not enough colors**

If you've never had the higher capability,
you'll likely have to skip down to Trick 3
--which is the same direction in which Keith pointed you
WRT the driver for the video card (aka "display adapter").

You can think of a device driver
as a software adapto-kit between the hardware device and Windows.
Another way to think of it is as a star-shaped tip on your cake-decorator tool
so that the icing comes out of the squeeze-gizmo looking like you want it to.
