Vista - Screen resolution stuck at 640

I reinstalled XP, and now my resolution is stuck at 640. I followed the HELP
section, which says to go under Advanced in the properties setting, click
moniters then properties. But properties isn't clickable in the monitors tab,
so I have no idea what to do. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Any suggestions?

You might have better luck posting this question at
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

Try changing your colour depth if possible - sometimes if you're on 8-bit
colour then it can sometimes restrict you from making the resolution any
higher. Make sure it's on 32-bit at least, apply the changes then try
changing your res. after that.
