stavros - Running your PC in Safe Mode will couse your PC to use standard drivers for your graphics card, this is why you are not getting any options to increase the resolution of your screen.

Restart the PC in normal mode to get your drivers started again.

in that case you need to reinstall your gfx card drivers, sounds like its got screwed up somewhere and is running the standard pci graphics adapter. U absolutely sure youre restarting it in normal mode, and not safemode?
