I have a cruddy Sony 4:3 monitor. Anyway i can make it letterbox so i can use widescreen resolutions? Thank you very much in advance. It would really help me if i could figure this stuff out.

Pretty sure that won't actually increase your resolution though, it will just make it look letterboxed.

Resolution is how many pixels per inch (or whatever) you're displaying, so if your monitor can't display more than a 1200x1080 making it 1200x880 won't acttually improve things.
