Setting the screen resolution 1440x900

Windows XP Pro

I have a gateway 19 inch Widescreen monitor and the recommended screen resolution is 1440x900. However no matter what I do I cannot set it.

I have updated the drivers of my video card (Radeon 7000) and I have set the monitor drivers as Plug and Play as recommended by Gateway. Is there away of forcing the the screen resolution to 1440x900 ? I've spent hours on this.

Thanks for your help

Where can I find the "Show all resolutions" check box?
Yeah the very first thing I did was update the video drivers, but still no luck.
The "Show all Resolutions" is generally on the Advanced page of the properties page for your video driver.   The same page where you select different resolutions (You may have to click an "Advanced" button or on an "Advanced" tab -- depends on the specific video drivers.

... Are there ANY widescreen resolutions show?   If not, you most likely simply don't have support for widescreen resolutions -- in which case there's nothing you can do.
