uninstall the card and then boot to safemode, run a driver cleaner (Guru3D - Driver Sweeper (Setup) download from Guru3D.com) then reboot and reinstall the driver package from the maker of the card also at the same time its worth updating microsoft directx,

make sure while reinstalling you have turned off any antivirus software and maybe vistas user account control if needed.
if the card still will not display any higher resolutions try to borrow/install another card to see if your one is faulty.
