In that case you still have some options to explo
- some cards/drivers have options to create custom resolutions in their control panel advanced settings.

- some cards/drivers read the resolutions and refresh rates supported by the connected monitor through the EDID bus and make them available. You must use a VGA cable that connects the EDID pins (not all do).

- you can use WinModelines to add custom resolutions if your card driver is supported. Most ATI and NVidia and some Matrox.
