What distro are you using? and what methods have you already tried to change screen resolution?

I assume you speak about the desktop environment. If that's the case, paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in pastebin.com and post a link to it here, so we can review it and see what's wrong.

Cant get the whole conf file pasted because the linux box is'nt connected to the internet which i am trying to do but have to get the monitor issue sorted because its doing my head in, if you like i can type in the part which you would be interested in ..

Thanks
