Support for widescreen resolution?

I just got a new LG 19 inch widescreen LCD monitor, LCD is working fine, but everything looks wide stretched.

I tried to change my screen resolution to monitor's native resolution, but my display tab doesn't shows widescreen resolution.

My monitor's native resolution is 1440 x 900 and I am working on 1280 x 960.

Can someone tell me how to fix this problem? Do I need to buy a new graphics card? Please tell me.

    a good idea to get a new card

    in the mean time

    change your screen resalution to 1280 x 800 (move slider to the left )

    this will make it look right its the same ratio as 1440 x 900

    If your graphics card cannot handle your monitor's native resolution it would be in your best interest to upgrade your graphics card. Check out sites like newegg.com. You can usually find good prices on nice cards there.
