You need to install the correct drivers for your video card and then you should be able to change the resolution. If you don't have the drivers available you can download drivers from www.driversguide.com but you need to know what kind of video card you have. You can search at that site by product category and manufacturer. Hope this helps.

Depending on your hardware, and operating system, you need to install up to 4 drivers to have optimum video performance.

AGP Mini-port driver for the chipset on the motherboard. (www.motherboards.org or www.wimsbios.com for help locating the correct driver)

DirectX (from Microsoft) Many video cards require that you install DirectX prior to installing the video driver.

Video card driver (www.driverguide.com) Use the manufactures link when available.

Monitor driver.

Install thedrivers in the order listed.

You need to find the manufacturer and model of your video card and monitor. Look on their site for drivers for your specific operating system, or take a look out at www.video-drivers.com for drivers. That should solve the problem.
