monitor 1280x1024 in 98SE, but only 1024x768 in XP

I have a problem with getting my monitor to display 1280x1024
in windowsXP. Here is the story:

I have used this monitor (A4033, multisync) for years on 98SE
at 1280x1024 (and even for a while at 1600x1200), and it works
just fine. This is a 20 inch monitor, so this is not surprising.
Another monitor, P990 (19 inch) also works at 1280x1024
on 98SE. I just got a compaq SR1550 (windows XP),
integrated graphics: SIS mirage2 graphics with 128MB shared
memory. I hooked up the A4033, and it would only go to a max
of 1024x768 (default driver). I then replaced that monitor
with the P990, and it went to a resolution of 1280x1024.
Everything the same, just different monitors, and it
auto selected the P990 driver.
So, I put the A4033 back, and it went to the default driver,
and the same max of 1024x768. So, I installed the P990
driver, and it still would not go above 1024x768.
Does anybody have any ideas how I can get 1280x1024 on
the A4033 monitor? Maybe I need to install a different
driver? But there are hundreds (thousands?) of monitor
drivers.

Go to monitor driver under display properties and click update driver. If
your are connected to the internet it should find the correct driver for
your monitor.

A google search will lead to monitor manu, which should enable you to find
the correct driver
