Explanation

VGA mode (also called standard VGA or low-resolution mode) uses a basic 640x480 resolution with a limited color depth (16 colors). When Windows falls back to this mode - typically because the proper graphics driver failed to load or is corrupted - it uses a generic VGA driver that is locked to this low resolution. At 640x480, all on-screen elements appear much larger than at standard resolutions, and the resolution setting cannot be changed because the full driver is not loaded. Recovery mode is used for system repair. Virtualization is a technology platform, not a display mode. Administrator is a user account privilege level.
