Hours spent on Google worked out and now I have the resolution setting in the old Radeon X300 video card that came with this computer. I can again delay buying a new video card till I can afford the one I really want. *grin*
I found some software called PowerStip that lets you put custom resolutions into your video card settings. Some people have to leave the program running and some can get away with setting the new settings and turning the program off. If you don't have to have the program running for your screen to look right then you don't even have to keep the software on your computer, you can uninstall it. I don't have to keep the program as everything works fine without it and now I have the right resolution and my screen looks AWESOME! I would have gladly paid the $29.95 to register the program if I would have had to keep it though since that is cheaper than buying a new video card to do the same thing. ;-)
I'm so happy!
