I think your resolution problem and internet problem can be fixed with drivers. After you installed vista, did you install drivers for it?
Listing your computer specs can help us help you too.

Well, you'll have to use a computer with internet to download drivers and then save them onto a flash drive. Then you transfer it over to your computer and then install it from there.

^^ Use that site to find drivers that is for your computer. Also make sure the drivers are for vista.

you don't have a driver disk that came with the computer from dell?
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.
