clean install inspiron 1100

Last year the fine folks at dell sent me 5 discs to reinstall xp home and upgrade from sp1 to sp2. I finally got around to it yesterday but was confused when I got to the part at :http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html where it says " you will see a change display settings, say yes, and accept the setting if you can see the screen after accepting". I clicked let windows automatically adjust settings and now my screen resolution is very low and only have 16 bit color depth. Since to change it it says I needed drivers I installed the second disc in the pack containing support software and then when I went to install the third disc in the pack "device drivers-diagnostics and  utilities" It said I have to uninstall some drivers in order to install these drivers. I'm getting lost here. Can anyone Point me in the right direction?  Thanks   If I have to do the reinstall again could you clear up the confusing line above about "seeing the screen"
