Hi erpara,
Try setting another game such as Freecell to that resolution
just to make sure that it's neither your video drivers, nor any
other component of windows that's at fault. If it works, then
check for ingame settings that may allow you to set the game
at that resolution. If there is no such setting, contact the tech
support for that game, and ask them if there's a change you
can make to the game's .ini file, or a command line command.
Hope that helps!

Jimmy S.
