I bought my Dell laptop 2 years ago with great video graphic card and stuff. But the utilities and drivers for hardwares were all for 32-bits even though my processor has 64-bit capablility. I just installed my 64-bit windows 7 but I can't install my 32-bit drivers and I need those drivers to utilize the 100% graphic card capibility and stuff. What should I do?

What drivers are you trying to install?

Dell likely won't have the drivers you need, but you can potentially find them at the hardware/software manufacturer's website. You can find 64bit drivers for your graphics card here: Link

Right click on your desktop and choose "Screen Resolution". Then click the arrow and you should have several resolutions to choose from.
