Every time I try to install any version of Windows I get stuck at a very distorted screen. It starts out okay, but once my computer restarts during the installation and goes to the completion it comes to that distorted screen. Any ideas?

When installation is complete, download and install the graphics driver from the PC or laptop manufacturer's website. Or, if it's a custom-built computer, download it from the motherboard manufacturer's website. When the driver has been installed, set the display to the correct resolution for the screen size of the monitor. Right-click an empty part of the desktop and choose "Personalize" from the context-menu. Then click "Display Settings" and you should see the slider for the Resolution.

(You may find that the display resolution has been correctly set by default after installing the graphics driver, so no need to do it manually).

If using a PC, you may also need to adjust the monitor's picture dimensions using the monitor's own built-in menu buttons, so that the picture is the correct height and width to fill the screen, but check the resolution is correct before doing this.
