Vista Tutorial - Can't get out of safe mode

My new beta of Windows Vista runs great so far. My files are all opening
really fast, internet works great, but there's a slight problem: my screen's
running at 640x480 and 4-bit color. I know my 2 year old laptop isn't
powerful enough to run the full Aero experience, but I think this might be a
little rediculous. How do I make this uncrappy?

Right click the Desktop > click Personalize > Display Settings > Advanced >
List Modes > select an appropriate refresh rate with a better resoluton.
Which video card are you using, have you updated the drivers?

I'm using an ATI Radeon 320m, and the drivers should be up-to-date, though I
think how I installed Vista might have done something about that. I'll try
reinstalling after my backup file is done being created. Thanks for the
help, though.
