Stuck at 640 x 480

So it seems that my monitor is stuck at 640 x 480 (for games at least).  None of my games are giving me any choices for the resolution other than 640 x 480. 

What's up with my monitor?

For the record, I have an ATI X850 XT 256MB and the monitor Norwood Micro... 15" display I think (not sure about the measurements.  Help me out guys. :'(

That's because modern OSes are retarded and they expect to be able to tell which monitor do you have; completely retarded luser Plug'n'Pray bullshit.

Go to advanced display properties (right click on desktop->properties->configuration->advanced), Monitor, and choose Change monitor type or something like that. Select standard monitor types and pick the best one you can see. Then you can manually adjust resolution and refresh rate to your needs according to what your monitor supports.

60 Hz is the only thing my monitor can display.
There's no "Change Monitor Type" either.

Anything I can do Via ATI's Catalyst?

I'll guide you but my Windows is in another language so bear with me. Right click on desktop -> Properties, Configuration tab, Advanced options, Monitor tab, Properties, Controller, Update controller, Next, Show a list of all known controllers, Next, Show all hardware of this kind of device, choose Standard monitor types on the left and Super VGA 1600x1200 on the right, then click Next and OK all the time until it's installed.

If this fails, check your ATI Catalyst monitor options because it's the shit screwing it.

I cannot believe you just said that.  I expect bad taste from this place, but seriously!  It's times like these that I lose hope for the future.  But then I remind myself how few people come here, and a small trace of my faith in humanity is restored.
