CJ is right, if you installed Windows 2K, it won't come with the correct video driver, and it will use a generic driver which will cause the symptoms you are experiencing.

Boot up in safe mode. Press and hold F8 when you see the IBM logo until you get a boot menu. Then, select Safe Mode with Networking.

Once it finishes booting and you are logged on, go into the device manager. Uninstall the driver under Display Adapters. once that is uninstalled, install your new driver from the link.

Then, reboot, and boot up normally. Now you should be able to set the correct screen resolution in the Display Properties.
