Setting your screen resolution in Windows Vista is a simple process:

1. Right-click an empty area on the screen.
2. Click Properties.
2. Click Display Settings.
3. Adjust the slider.  The resolution to be used will be shown for each position of the slider.
4. Click Apply.  If you are instucted that restarting is required, Click Restart.
