You are more likely to get helpful responses if you provide more detail:

eg. 	how did you install and from where (CDs, http etc)
	about your set up h/w, net access etc.

1.	if you've managed to get X started and want to change
resolution, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

2.	if you use the debian apt package management system
(recommended), it knows where to put program files (and debian bears no
resemblance to XP).  A handy front-end to apt is aptitude.
