Have you followed exactly the steps here:

?

If you have and it still doesn't work...maybe you should rephrase your question in a little more frantic manner...it's a tad bit confusing.

Have you gone into Picture Settings and changed the resolution to 320 x 240?

You're using iTunes to put it on the iPod, right? You have to put it in iTunes first, and then update the iPod. You can't just drag it on in the Finder.
