It is sensing (correctly or incorrectly) that your video card is not capable of higher resolution.

When you look in your BIOS, you're not set to EGA mode by any chance?

What is video card and do you have the latest & greatest drivers?

Also, your monitor should be identified dy Windows for you to have the best performance. In device manager, is your monitor correctly listed? If not, you should change it under Advanced Settings in the Properties menu, selecting it from either Windows driverbase or using a driver from the manufacturer of the monitor.
