Need for Speed Most wanted

I got this game on my laptop and my laptop is a widescreen an dit runs 1440x900 resolution, the game wont let me set higher than 1024x768. Its horrible, I hook this laptop up to the 19 inch flat screen monitor at home and i'll run 1600x1200 everything on high and it runs fine. I just wish i could use the LCD screen that came with the laptop, some help would be appreciated thanks guys.

hey it made everything full screen whenever in a lower resolution but in the game it pretty much just stretches the 1024 resolution across the whole 17 inch monitor which doesnt look that great if ya know what i mean

no the game it self, i am not too familiar with widescreen stuff, but that driver you have will fix just about any issues with some games.
