Widescreen Monitor Help

Hi I have just bought an HP w2207, 22-inch, widescreen LCD monitor. I used it on an XP computer and it was beautiful. Now I am trying to use it with my Windows 98 system but I am having trouble. I installed all drivers etc. and the lowest resolution option possible is 1280x768 that is proportional and keeps the 16:9 aspect. The thing is, the text is very strange. At times it looks like the computer ran out of printer ink to display the text/colors correctly. I would love to use this resolution or something a little lower but there is nothing that works. Here's a couple examples of my text issue. ICON http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9009/mycompha9.gif MENU http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2846/startmenbd0.th.gif Any suggestions?

1680×1050 is actually 16:10 aspect ratio, not 16:9 (DNA: Monday, February 4, 2008 at 3:43 pm)
