A higher resolution?

When I was in Windows XP, I ran my resolution at 1600x1200 on a 19 inch
monitor. To my dimay, I found that Windows Vista has locked me out this
option. And this option, I really liked.

How can I unlock this, so I can get back to the size I am used to? I have
updated all my drivers, for both my monitor and my video card, but it doesnt
let me use the full capacity of my hardware. Can I get this resolution back?
Is there a registry setting to adjust? Is there a program out there that
will let me get back to 'normal'? Or should I switch back to Windows XP
(though I prefer not to)?

Thanks for your help,
M

Since you do not say what release of Vista your are using with what
interfcac or what your video card is or what drivers you are using for it it
is almost impossible to give you and advice. It is like saying my new car
does not get doot gas milege what do I do without providing any details.

I am running Vista Ultimate. The card is a ATI Radeon x700. The monitor is
19". I have tried the included drivers with Vista, as well as the beta from
ATI. And my shoe size it 10...

There you go! Vista only works up to a shoe size of 9 1/2 D.
Sizes of up to 14 EEE are planned in future updates. As with
ATI drivers, we'll just have to wait for the new releases.

Regarding this, how do I get past this?

It is not a driver or hardware issue. It is Microsoft telling me what is
best. But isnt what I want whats best for me?

Thanks again,
