Make sure that the correct monitor appears in Display properties. If the wrong monitor is selected, Windows might not use the full capabilities of your monitor, and you might be restricted in your choice of screen resolutions.
To check your monitor selection
Open Display Properties in Control Panel.
Click the Settings tab, click Advanced, and then click the Monitor tab.
The monitor that is selected for your computer is displayed under Monitor Type.
If correct monitor isn't listed, click Properties.
Click the Driver tab, and then click Update driver.
After the Hardware Update Wizard starts, click Install from a list or specific location, and then click Next.
Click Don't search. I will choose the driver to install, and then click Next. This provides a list of monitor manufacturers and models.
In Manufacturers, click the manufacturer of your monitor, and then in Models, click the model name.
If your monitor isn't listed, click (Standard monitor type) in Manufacturers, and then choose the most compatible setting for your monitor in Models.
Click Next, and then click Next again.
Note
To open Display Properties, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
If this doest work check the troubleshooting where you change screen settings it gives you more posabilities. :)

It may be that the plug-n-play for your monitor is not working properly. If the monitor is reporting that it can only get to 800 by 600 for some reason then that is what Windows will go to.
Try installing the driver for your monitor rather than using the default plug-n-play.

Go to properties - settings and press the "Advanced" button. The settings will depend on your video driver, but here you can generally select to either reboot with new settings or applying them directly. Changing it to "reboot" should fix the problem.

Right-click on your desktop. Select properties - settings and move the status bar to the correct setting.
