A different window comes up, looking much more like the traditional

The "right" way to do it would've been right-click the desktop,
"Personalize", scroll down to the bottom of the page it presents and
click "Display settings".  That gets you pretty much the same old
dialog box as XP has.

With the nVidia drivers installed there'll also be an "nVidia Control
Panel" option on the desktop context menu, but that's not Vista,
that's nVidia's crapware.

Vista has plenty of causes for hate -- though many of the most obvious
are more "this is in a different place than it was in XP" than
anything else -- but this isn't its fault.  If there really was no
"Personalize" on the desktop menu then that'd be some sort of weird
customization from Gateway, straight-from-MS Vista doesn't do that.
