It sounds as though the problem is not "resolution", but color depth.
Presumably, you are using a 16-color setting. That is, you only have
16 colors available at any one time on the screen. Change the video settings
such that you have a resolution supporting 24-bit or 32-bit color. If you
have no such choice, then your video drivers are incorrectly installed and
should be removed and re-installed.

At least, that's my guess. }
