How to fix a Computer screen problem after updates?

Question

I just got a new computer 2 days ago.  It seems to work really well.  Well last night I went to bed and got up this morning and now the screen looks all distorted.  The icons are WAY oversized and distorted. The only thing I could figure out is that the automatic updates would be turned on, but why would it do this?  I don't want the updates if they're going to screw up my machine.  I have already wasted an hour and a half trying to fix it and can't figure it out.

The computer is a Dell with Vista.  I tried UN-installing the updates that were made, but it won't let me click on them.  This is very frustrating.

I also tried going back to the previous day to in the Restore to a Previous Point - but it said there was no point to restore.  Huh?

Please help - anything you think would help.  Thanks!

Turn off your automatic updates.
Your computer has been updated that's why your screen resolution changed.
Go to start >> control panel>>display >> settings>> advanced>> adapter >>list all modes, then click on the resolution that you desire.
Example, 800 x 600 , 1024 x 768 ....
