Boot into Safe Mode and delete the Display Adapter you installed to go back to using Windows drivers. Reboot again. Then download the latest drivers from Nvidia or ATi and install those.

Restart the computer and press the F8 key on the keyboard (I usually keep tapping it until a different screen shows up giving you different options to choose from). Select "Safe Mode" and it will boot into Windows using Safe Mode which loads the basic Windows drivers (minimal process). Once Windows is finished loading, go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and look for your video card drivers. I don't even know what kind of video card you have.

Remove it, that's it. Then restart the computer normally. Go back onto the Internet and download the latest driver for your video card.

If you can see your Desktop, right click on it and go down to properties. Go to the Settings Tab and you should be able to resize the resolution from there.
