That is an unusual screen resolution. The "standard" would be 800x600 (not 
640). It may be possible that your video card can't support the non-standard 
resolution. The other standard resolutions are 1280x1024, 1024x768, and 
640x480. Color depth is important too. 32 and 24 bit are both considered 
"truecolor", while 16 bits still allows 64K colors and 8 bits allows only 256 
colors. Resolution time color depth will determine minimum required video 
memory; make sure your card can generate the selected resolution (as well as 
the monitor) and that there is sufficient memory to support the selected 
resolution and color depth.
