Change the monitor driver to a generic windows one for 800x600. THis will allow you to turn the monitor up to that resolution. Even if the video card can go that high, if the monitor is not set up correctly, it will not allow you to change it. In display properties, go to the setttings tab. Click on advanced, and go to the monitor tab. Click on the change button. CLick on next. Change the nexzt selection so it says you want to display a list of all drivers. In the driver window, select show all hardware. At the very top of the list is standard monitor types. Select this and in the list on the right select super vga 800x600. It may ask for the WIndows disk when you click on next. Click through all the install stuff. Restart the computer. Go back into display properties and under the settings tab, you should be able to change the resolution to 800x600. Change it to this. If the screen comes back up, it works, if not wait 15 seconds, and windows will reset it to 640x480. If it can't handle the 800x600 you will need a new monitor.

Well, I'm off to go look for myself. If I should get back before I return, tell myself to wait for me.
