How to force Windows XP to show 640x800 resolution?

Is there anybody with enough knowledge who know how to force Windows XP to show 640x800 resolution, not only 800x600 as lowest one??

You can instead set it to that resolution by going into display properties > advanced > adapter tab > list all modes

It may be a limitation of the driver depending on your video card. If this is the case you would likely have to modify the .inf file but I can't see that being the issue since even my 9800GTX+ allows 640x800 if you do as iPlayer suggested.

Display settings > settings > advanced > adapter > list all modes > hit apply
