right click on my computer ---> properties --> hardwaretab---> click device manager

find "display driver" in the list shown, click on the little + arrow next to it, should tell you what card is in your laptop (hopefully) although it might not if it does not have any drivers installed.

Find out what the laptop is, go to the manufacturers site and you should be able to download graphics drivers.

In Control Panel-Display-Settings.

Change the resolution to something higher.

If it won't let you change it you will have to find the appropriate drivers.
